Compound as reactive (1)

3-[(5'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]malate + NAD⁺ → NADH + 8-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxooctanoate + CO₂

Compound as product (1)

2-[(5'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]malate → 3-[(5'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]malate

Reversible reaction (2)

H₂O + 2-[(2'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]maleate ↔ 3-[(5'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]malate

3-[(5'-methylsulfanyl)pentyl]malate + NAD⁺ ↔ NADH + 3-carboxy-8-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxooctanoate + H⁺
