[[Malate dehydrogenase|Malate Dehydrogenase]] (MDH)(PDB entry [http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=2X0I 2x0i]) is most known for its role in the metabolic pathway in the tricarboxylic acid cycle or Kreb's Cycle which is critical to cellular respiration in cells [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle]; however, the enzyme is also in many other metabolic pathways such as glyoxylate bypass, amino acid synthesis, glucogenesis, and oxidation/reduction balance <ref>PMID:12537350</ref>. It is classified as a oxidoreductase[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidoreductase]. Malate Dehydrogenase has been extensively studied due to its many isozymes <ref>PMID:20173310</ref>. The enzyme exists in two places inside a cell, in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. In the mitochondria, the enzyme catalyzes the reaction of malate to oxaloacetate; but in the cytoplasm, the enzyme catalyzes oxaloacetate to malate to allow transport <ref>PMID:20173310</ref>. This conversion is an essential catalytic step in each different metabolic mechanism. The enzyme malate dehydrogenase is composed of either a dimer or tetramer depending on the location and organism <ref>PMID: 9834842</ref>. During catalysis, the enzyme subunits are non-cooperative between active sites. The mitochondrial MDH is complexly, allosterically controlled by citrate, but no other known metabolic regulation mechanisms have been discovered. Further, the exact mechanism of regulation has yet to be discovered <ref>PMID:7574693</ref>. Kinetically, the pH of optimization is 7.6 for oxaloacetate conversion and 9.6 for malate conversion. The reported K(m) value for malate conversion is 215 uM and the V(max) value is 87.8 uM/min <ref>PMID:19277715</ref>.{{STRUCTURE_2x0i | PDB=2x0i | SCENE= }} | |||

The evolutionary past of MDH shows a divergence to form lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) which functions in a very similar way to MDH. Although there is a very low sequence conservation among MDH and LDH’s [http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi] the structure of the enzyme has remained relatively conserved. The key difference between the two is in the substrate: LDH catalyzes pyruvate to lactate. | The evolutionary past of MDH shows a divergence to form lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) which functions in a very similar way to MDH.
