Experimental conditions for the molecular hybridization in vitro between iodine and native subunits of isoenzymes 1 and 5 of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are described. It is also shown that the covalently fixed on the polyacrylamide beads rat J125 labelled LDH-5 and J125 labelled aldolase A, under conditions of complete dissociation of the quaternary structure of these enzymes, only one of the four subunits remain bound with the beads. Subunit of LDH-5, which is covalently bound with the polyacrylamide beads, is capable to hybridize (reassociated) with 3 native subunits. In addition, the immobilized LDH-5 subunits and aldolase A are capable to hybridize with J125 labelled subunits of these enzymes. Thus, when thyrosine, lysine and N-terminal amino acids are modified, subunits of LDH-5 and aldolase A retain their capacity to restore their quaternary structures.
