Malic Acid Synthase Activity Assay kit

Malate Synthase (EC2.3.3.9) belongs to a class of acyltransferases in transferases andmainlyexists in plants and microorganisms. It is one of the key enzymes in the glyoxylatecycle.Glyoxylate reacts with acetyl-coa to form malate under the catalysis of MS. MS catalyzes the production of malic acid from acetyl CoA and glyoxylate, alongwiththeproduction of coenzyme A, which converts colorless DTNB to yellow TNB. At 412nm, therearecharacteristic absorption peaks at, from which MS activity can be calculated.
