RESUMO
Malate dehydrogenase isolated from leaves of the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) appears in the form of several isoenzymes. Four of the isoenzymes found in cotton leaf extracts appear to be charge isomers with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000. A fifth malate dehydrogenase isoenzyme found in leaf extracts has a molecular weight of approximately 500,000. Under appropriate conditions it is possible to form this high molecular weight isoenzyme from at least one of the smaller isoenzymes. In addition, malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes of approximately 700,000 and 130,000 molecular weight have been observed under some conditions, although these isoenzymes do not appear in the crude cotton leaf preparations. The relationship of this heterogeneity with respect to size and to the discrepancies in the number and size of malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes reported from plant tissues may be significant.
