The effect of some herbicides on lactate dehydrogenase activity
- 1 Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Charles University, Praha 2, Czechoslovakia
The effect of herbicides N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate), 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (atrazine) and the respective commercial preparations "Round-up", "Aminex", and "Zeazin", on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase isolated from germinating soybean seeds and beef heart were compared. The main aim of the work was to compare the effect of the herbicides on lactate dehydrogenase isolated from animal and plant material. Simultaneously the effect of herbicides and the respective commercial preparations was compared. Substantial differences resulting from the two comparisons indicate differences in the structure of active centres of lactate dehydrogenase isolated from animal and plant material, and also a considerable effect of additives and surfactants in commercial preparations.
