Abstract

The investigations carried out on intracellular electromigration of subcellular components in the gastrocnemius muscle of frog indicated that enzymes such as succinate, lactate, malate and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenases, cytochrome oxidase and aldolase showed higher level of activity in the presence of acidic protein while the proteases, cholinesterases and lipases had a higher level of activity in the presence of basic protein (DASS & SWAMI, 1968a & b; REDDY & SWAMI, 1971). A relation between the pattern of electric charge prevailing in the cytoplasmic protein and the enzymic activity has been suggested, and this relationship is vital in the metabolic regulation of enzymic activities either by activation or inhibition (SWAMI & INDIRA, 1967; RAO et al., 1968; DASS & SWAMI, 1968a & b; REDDY & SWAMI, 1971; REDDY, 1971). The aminotransferases such as aspartate and alanine aminotransferases play an intermediary r61e between different metabolic pathways and this tends to signify the backbone of the metabolic status of the regulatory systems. When enzymes of carbohydrate and protein degradation are under different regulatory cytosol influences, it is essential to know the pattern of linking enzymes under similar influences.
