Reaction: (S)-malate + NAD(P)+ = oxaloacetate + NAD(P)H + H+
Other name(s): MdH II, NAD(P)+-dependent malate dehyrogenase
Systematic name: (S)-malate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
Comments: This enzyme, which was characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, catalyses only the reduction of oxaloacetate, and can use NAD+ and NADP+ with similar specific activity [1]. Different from EC 1.1.1.37 [malate dehydrogenase (NAD+)], EC 1.1.1.82 [malate dehydrogenase (NADP+)] and EC 1.1.5.4 [malate dehydrogenase (quinone)].
