- Abstract
Peptides recently isolated and sequenced from a bacterial (Leuconostoc mesenteroides) glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase are remarkably homologous to an active site region of the human erythrocyte enzyme, although the enzymes differ in their overall amino acid composition and kinetic properties. The computer program ALIGN, used to determine the best alignment between the two enzyme sequences, gives match-scores which are statistically highly significant.
