Abstract
N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) reducing enzyme was purified to homogeneity from cell-free extracts of Candida lipolytica by chromatography techniques. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be about 43,000 by gel filtration using Superose 12 and to be 47,000 by SDS-PAGE. This enzyme can use both NADPH and NADH as an electron donor, and catalyzes the reduction of the carbon-carbon double bond of five membered ring compounds which have two conjugated carbonyl groups on both sides of a double bond.
