The hydrolysis of 2-acetyloxybenzoic acid in the pH range 6-12 has been studied in the presence of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cpc). In the plateau region (pH 6-8) the hydrolysis is inhibited by the presence of micelles, while in the region where the normal BAC2 hydrolysis (pH > 9) occurs the reaction is catalysed by micelles of ctab and cpc. The mechanism of hydrolysis in the plateau region is shown to involve general base catalysis by the adjacent ionized carboxy group both in the presence and absence of micelles. This reaction is inhibited in the presence of micelles because the substrate molecules are solubilized into the micelle and water is less available in this environment than in normal aqueous solution.

The dissociation of the aldehyde dehydrogenase X NADH complex was studied by displacement with NAD+. The association reaction of enzyme and NADH was also studied. These processes are biphasic, as shown by McGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell [(1977) Biochem. J. 165, 455-462], but the details of the dissociation reaction are significantly different from those given by those authors. Spectral and kinetic experiments provide evidence for the formation of abortive complexes of the type enzyme X NADH X aldehyde. Kinetic studies at different wavelengths with transcinnamaldehyde as substrate provide evidence for the formation of an enzyme X NADH X cinnamoyl complex. Hydrolysis of the thioester relieves a severe quenching effect on the fluorescence of enzyme-bound NADH.

Systemic pretreatment of rats with diphenylhydantoin (DPH) or its addition into an in vitro assay increases 5α-reduction of testosterone by the oral mucosa. Enzyme kinetic studies showed that DPH binds to the enzyme and probably activates it by an allosteric mechanism.
