1. The transient-state and steady-state phases of the reaction between Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase and 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate were investigated by using a fluorimetric stopped-flow technique. 2. At low substrate concentration (5μm) in the pH range 3·8–6·3 there was an initial rapid liberation of up to 1mole of 4-methylumbelliferone/mole of enzyme. 3. At very low substrate concentration (0·1μm) in the pH range 4·9–5·9 an initial lag in 4-methylumbelliferone production was observed, from which values for k+1 and k−1 could be obtained. 4. The pH profiles for the rates of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are quite different, and it is postulated that an ionizing group which determines the conformation during the phosphorylation step is not involved in the dephosphorylation step. 5. The binding constants for substrate and Pi are similar throughout the pH range 4–8. The ionization of substrate or Pi appeared to have no marked effect on the binding.

The pre-steady-state kinetics of phosphate formation from 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate catalysed by Escherichia coli chorismate synthase (EC 4.6.1.4) were studied by a rapid-acid-quench technique at 25 degrees C at pH 7.5. No pre-steady-state ‘burst’ or ‘lag’ phase was observed, showing that phosphate is released concomitant with the rate-limiting step of the enzyme. The implications of this result for the mechanism of action of chorismate synthase are discussed.

Studies of steady-state kinetics of fumarase in the usual substrate-concentration range from 0.1 Km to 10 Km and in the high substrate-concentration range from 10 Km to 200 Km are described. The purpose is to investigate reports of substrate inhibition and oscillatory kinetics. In the normal substrate-concentration range, no deviations from hyperbolic kinetics were found, and in the extended concentration range, up to more than 200 times the Km value, no substrate inhibition was demonstrated. A discussion of the discrepancies between the mentioned reports of deviations from the hyperbolic kinetics and the present findings is given.

Recent Classification

1. A study of variations in experimental error of velocity measurement with substrate concentration for alkaline phosphatase reveals that the standard error is not constant or strictly proportional to velocity, but obeys a more complex dependence. 2. By using an approach based on error estimates at each individual substrate concentration, we show that the double-reciprocal plots in general are curved, necessitating a high-degree rate equation. The curves are analysed according to a recent classification of possible curve shapes for the 3:3 function, which is shown to be the lowest-degree rate equation satisfying the experimental data. 4. Other workers have supposed the enzyme to follow Michaelis–Menten kinetics, and it is shown that this assumption is approximately true at low temperatures in the absence of phosphate. 5. A study of the effects of phosphate concentration, pH and temperature on the kinetics shows that there is a gradual alteration in curve shape with these experimental variables, resulting in an apparent reduction in degree under certain special conditions, and particularly at low temperature. 6. It is shown that the steady-state kinetics do not require a flip-flop or half-of-sites reactivity mechanism as claimed, and a mechanism is proposed, a rate equation calculated and an analysis attempted. 7. An analysis of the product-inhibition effects for a linked two-sited Uni Bi enzyme is given. Alterations of asymptotic double-reciprocal slopes and limiting (1/ν) intercepts with products is discussed, and it is shown how the theory of product inhibition can be extended to complex kinetic situations to extract information as to molecular mechanism. 8. Deviations from Michaelis–Menten kinetics are expressed in terms of the magnitude of the appropriate Sylvester resultants.

The steady state kinetic parameters of plasmin and trypsin catalysed hydrolysis of Bz-L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, Bz-D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA in the pH-range 6-9 are presented. Ionization of catalytically essential enzymic groups accounts satisfactorily for the pH-dependencies of the kinetic parameters for plas-rain and trypsin reactions with Bz-L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, Bz-D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA. The protonation of the α-amino group of L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA (pK=7.0) show some additional effect. The values of the catalytic constants for plasmin and trypsin reactions with these p-nitroanilides are alike those normally found for specific ester substrates, indicating that the deacylation steps are rate determining.
