3 results about "Leucine dehydrogenase" patented technology

In enzymology, a leucine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction L-leucine + H₂O + NAD⁺ ⇌ 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + NH₃ + NADH + H⁺ The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-leucine, H₂O, and NAD⁺, whereas its 4 products are 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, NH₃, NADH, and H⁺. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
