Abstract
Functional and structural properties of L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) from embryos of various fish species (Atlantic salmon, ra inbow trout, autumn cisco, least [Siberian] cisco, Siberian sturgeon, sterlet, leach, carp, goldfish, and zebrafish) were analysed. The mini mum K-m for pyruvate from embryos is correlated with the optimal tempe ratures of development in nature. LDH from embryos of fish adapted to low environmental temperatures (salmon and rainbow trout) shows lower Arrhenius activation energy and thermal stability values, than those f rom embryos of other fish species.
