Apparent kinetic constants were determined as described previously (1). The enzyme activity was measured with a Beckman DU-7500 spectrophotometer equipped with a thermostatic circulating water bath. The d-glucose concentrations for Km determinations were varied from 0.1 mM to 20 mM in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.5 mM NAD+, while the Km values for NAD+ and NADP+ were determined with 0.15 to 2.0 mM NAD+ and 0.05 to 2 mM NADP in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.1 M glucose.
