Abstract: The primary structure of NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase from methylotrop-hic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 101 is determined. The enzyme is composed of two identical subunits, each comprising 393 amino acid residues, and has a molecular weight of 43.1 kD. To elucidate the protein's amino acid sequence, four types of digestion were used: cyanogen bromide cleavage at methionine residues, endoproteinase Lys-C digestion at lysine residues, endoproteinase Glu-C cleavage at glutamic acid residues, and tryptic digestion. The peptides obtained were purified to homogeneity and characterized.
