1. 3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase was purified 400-fold from crude extracts of etiolated pea epicotyls. 2. Michaelis constants were determined for all four substrates. 3. Loss of sensitivity to inhibition by l-serine occurs on purification. 4. The purified enzyme is inhibited by thiol-group reagents and, with N-ethyl-maleimide, protection is afforded by 3-phosphoglycerate though not by NAD+.
