1. The eight methods for plotting enzyme kinetic data are classified and analysed, and it is shown how, in each case, it is only possible to obtain quantitative data on the coefficients of the lowest- and highest-degree terms in the rate equation. 2. The combinations of coefficients that are accessible experimentally from limiting slopes and intercepts at both low and high substrate concentration are stated for all the graphical methods and the precise effects of these on curve shape in different spaces is discussed. 3. Ambiguities arising in the analysis of complex curves and certain special features are also investigated. 4. Four special ordering functions are defined and investigated and it is shown how knowledge of these allows a complete description of all possible complex curve shapes.

Abstract We describe an enzymatic reaction between iodide ion, H2O2, and neutrophil sonicates, in which free iodine is formed. Some characteristics of the reaction are: (a) it is catalyzed by sonic extracts of human neutrophils, by purified horseradish peroxidase, or purified human myeloperoxidase, but not by sonic extracts of rabbit alveolar macrophages or beef liver catalase; (b) iodine is the product, as shown by its absorption spectrum and the absorption spectrum of the starch adduct; (c) the reaction is proportional to the amount of neutrophil sonicate added, and has a pH optimum near 4.0. Reaction is not linear with respect to time, owing to denaturation of the enzyme. Kinetic data indicate that the enzyme may be allosteric with respect to iodide and is inhibited by high concentrations of H2O2. These represent possible sources of control of the reaction.

An observation by Duggleby [Biochem. J. (1979) 181, 255-256] that estimates of kinetic parameters by the jack-knife technique [Cornish-Bowden & Wong (1978) Biochem. J. 175, 969-976] are sometimes outside the range of estimates from which they are calculated has been examined. No significant correlation has been found between the occurrence of this behaviour and the actual quality of the estimates.
