β¦ Synopsis
Glutamate dehydrogenase has been purified to near-homogeneity from mature larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 347,000 measured by sucrose gradient sedimentation and 343,000 measured by variable-porosity acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Electrophoresis under denaturing conditions showed that the enzyme consists of six subunits of molecular weight 57,000. The structural gene for GDH has been mapped at 81.7 +_ 0.8 on the third chromosome by means of an electrophoretic variant.

Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (DADH) can be converted with NAD Ο© and ketone into more negatively charged isoforms. Completely modified ADH isoforms are inactive, but activity is regained after native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis depending on the ketone used. When unmodified ADH is incubated
