Partial characterization and post‐feeding activity of midgut aminopeptidase in the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus
(1998)
A leucine aminopeptidase was found in the midgut of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus L. (Anoplura: Pediculidae). The enzyme is activated by the bloodmeal with a pH optimum at 8. The enzyme is soluble in both ...
Enzyme activities in flight and leg muscle of the dung beetle in relation to proline metabolism
(University of Nairobi, 1979)
Relatively high activities of NAD-linked ‘malic’ enzyme (E.C.1.1.1.39) and alanine aminotransferase (E.C.2.6.1.2), predominantly or entirely mitochondrial, were found in the flight and coxal muscle of three species of dung ...
The kinetic properties of nad-linked malic enzyme from muscle of the dung beetle Catharsius
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
Nad-linked malic enzyme (L-malate: NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), E.C. 1.1.1.38) was purified from muscle of the dung beetle Catharsius to a specific activity of 28 μmol/min/mg of protein. Its molecular weight was ...
