Studies of the isozymes produced by alternative alleles at the alcohol dehydrogenase locus of Drosophila melanogaster indicate that the ADH F enzyme is more active but less stable than the ADH S enzyme. The difference in stability is manfested in the responses to various conditions of temperature, p

The basis for the differentiation of L-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) into larval and adult isozymes in Drosophila melanogaster was investigated by the correlation of a lack of appearance of each isozyme during development within Drosophila bearing alpha-GPDH "null" alleles and by t
Measurements of wing-beat frequency (WBF) have been used to characterize flight muscle metabolic rate in Drosophila melanogaster during tethered flight. Progeny of crosses between 17 X-chromosome substitution lines and three null-activity stocks have been studied in order to determine the effect on
A biochemical comparison was made between ~-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase allozymes from Drosophila melanogaster. Enzymes extracted from the three major genotypes were indistinguishable in terms of their pH optima and thermal stabilities. Distinctive differences were observed for three parameters;
On the basis of band staining intensities in electrophoretic runs of single ,flies homozygous and heterozygous for two alleles at the autosomal locus for GPDH, F allele activity is believed to be 8% lower than S allele activity. Indeed, the intensity distribution in the patterns of FSS and FFS tripl
Studies were undertaken to investigate two critical aspects of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster. The first investigation unequivocally maps the genetic site of the G6PD locus to the X chromosome. The second study subjects a set of isochromosomal lines to
