Materials and methods

Objective of study:
other: enzyme kinetics of aldehyde dehydrogenase
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) was purified to homogeneity from rat hepatic microsomes by column chromatography. The purified protein was then used with different co-factors in a spectrophotometrical activity assay at 340 nm, which monitors the formation of NADH from NAD.
GLP compliance:
not specified

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Undecanal is rapidly oxicised by aldehydedehydrogenases
Executive summary:

In this publication (RL2) the activity of purified aldehyde dehydrogenase from rat hepatic microsomes was measured spectrophotometrically. Michaelis constant (Km) as well as maximal reaction velocity (Vmax) could be determined for undecanal. No numerical values are reported but they can be estimated from a given figure: Km ~10 µM, Vmax ~ 25 nmol/min and µg Protein (Martini and Murray, 1996).
