Oligomeric forms of bacterial malate dehydrogenase: a study of the enzyme from the phototrophic non-sulfur bacterium <i>Rhodovulum steppense</i> A-20s
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) was purified to homogeneity from the phototrophic purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodovulum steppense A-20s. According to gel-chromatography and electrophoretic studies, malate dehydrogenase is present as a dimer, tetramer and octamer depending on cultivation conditions. In phototrophic aerobic conditions only the tetrameric form was present, in chemotrophic aerobic conditions all three forms were detected, while in the absence of oxygen the octameric form disappeared. The malate dehydrogenase oligomers are encoded by a single gene and composed of the same 35 kDa polypeptide but differ in pH and temperature optimum, in affinities to malate, oxaloacetate, NADH and NAD+ and in regulation by cations and citrate. By modulating the cultivation conditions, it has been established that the dimer participates in the glyoxylate cycle; the tetramer operates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the octamer may be involved in the adaptation to oxidative stress.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
