Spectral analysis of purified recombinant D2HGDH.
A, the mixture containing 20 mm Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5 μm ZnCl2, and purified D2HGDH (1 mg ml−1) was flushed for 5 min with N2 in a quartz glass cuvette. The absorbance spectra were recorded at 30 °C. B and C, after addition of d-2-HG (B) and after addition of d-malate (C) at a final concentration of 250 μm, the changes of absorbance spectra were followed over different times using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. d-MT, d-malate.
