Kinetic Parameters of Recombinant AGD2- and ALD1-Catalyzed Reactions for Ala Synthesis Using Glutamate and Pyruvate as Cosubstrates

Substrate Cosubstrate (mM) Km (mM) kcat (s−1) kcat/Km (mM−1 s−1)
AGD2 Glutamate Pyruvate (50 mM) 3.08 6.47 2.10
AGD2P398S Glutamate Pyruvate (50 mM) 3.12 1.48 0.47
ALD1 Glutamate Pyruvate (50 mM) 37.0 5.80 0.16

Km values were obtained from the initial velocity data and Lineweaver-Burk plots. Three independent measurements were averaged.
