The kinetic theory of substrate reaction during the modification of enzyme activity [Duggleby (1986) J. Theor. Biol. 123, 67–80; Wang and Tsou (1990) J. Theor. Biol. 142, 531–549] has been applied to a study of the inactivation kinetics of ribonuclease A by bromopyruvic acid. The results show that irreversible inhibition belongs to a non-competitive complexing type inhibition. On the basis of the kinetic equation of substrate reaction in the presence of the inhibitor, all microscopic kinetic constants for the free enzyme, the enzyme–substrate complex and the enzyme–product complex have been determined. The non-competitive inhibition type indicates that neither the substrate nor the product affects the binding of bromopyruvic acid to the enzyme and that the ionization state of His-119 may be the same in both the enzyme–substrate and the enzyme–product complexes.

As previously reported, ultraviolet-inactivated bacterial transforming DNA can be restored to activity by an enzyme-like agent from bakers' yeast which requires light for its activity. Kinetics of this reaction, in the presence and absence of inhibitors, are found consistent with the Michaelis-Menten reaction scheme, with the sites of ultraviolet damage on the DNA serving as substrate and the repaired structure as product. Kinetic studies with different light intensities suggest that the necessary illumination causes photolysis of the enzyme-substrate complex with concurrent repair of the DNA. Competitive inhibition of irradiated transforming DNA repair, which occurs when irradiated non-transforming DNA is present in the same reaction mixture, permits ultraviolet damage (of the kind capable of being photoreactivated) to be detected in any type of DNA.

Subsites in the S2-S4 region were identified in human plasma kallikrein. Kinetic constants (kcat., Km) were determined for a series of seven extended N-aminoacyl-L-arginine methyl esters based on the C-terminal sequence of bradykinin (-Pro-Phe-Arg) or (Gly)n-Arg. The rate-limiting step for the enzyme-catalysed reaction was found to be deacylation of the enzyme. It was possible to infer that hydrogen-bonded interactions occur between substrate and the S2-S4 region of kallikrein. Insertion of L-phenylalanine at residue P2 demonstrates that there is also a hydrophobic interaction with subsite S2, which stabilizes the enzyme-substrate complex. The strong interaction demonstrated between L-proline at residue P3 and subsite S3 is of greatest importance in the selectivity of human plasma kallikrein. The purification of kallikrein from Cohn fraction IV of human plasma is described making use of endogenous Factor XIIf to activate the prekallikrein. Kallikreins I (Mr 91 000) and II (Mr 85 000) were purified 170- and 110-fold respectively. Kallikrein I was used for the kinetic work.

The effect of pH on the kinetics of rat liver arylsulphatases A and B is very similar and shows that two groups with pK values of 4.4-4.5 and 5.7-5.8 are important for enzyme activity. Substrate binding has no effect on the group with a pK of 4.4-4.5; however, the pK of the second group is shifted to 7.1-7.5 in the enzyme-substrate complex. An analysis of the effect of pH on the Ki for sulphate inhibition suggests that HSO4-is the true product. A model is proposed that involves the two ionizing groups identified in the present study in a concerted general acid-base-catalysed mechanism.

β -Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is a purified enzymic protein of bacterial origin which catalyzes oxidations of 3 β - and 17 β -hydroxysteroids to their respective ketones with diphosphopyridine nucleotide as a hydrogen acceptor. The reaction kinetics of this enzyme with a variety of steroids are not in accordance with the predictions of the theory of Michaelis & Menten (1913), since the velocity of oxidation shows a marked tendency to decline at high concentrations of substrate. The behaviour of these compounds may be fully analyzed on the assumption of the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex involving two substrate molecules. The theory for bimolecular complex formation and its implications are examined. Affinity constants have been calculated for various steroids and conclusions drawn as to the structural requirements favouring attachment to the enzyme surface. Phenolic compounds of the oestra-1:3:5(10)-triene-3-ol family are most firmly bound. Planar molecules of the androst-4-ene, androst-5-ene or 5 α -androstane series show intermediate affinity, while testane (5 β -androstane) derivatives which deviate considerably from planarity are most poorly bound to the enzyme surface. The presence of oxygenated functions at positions 3 and 17 promotes high affinity, whereas an additional 11 α - or 11 β ?-hydroxyl group opposes this effect. Conclusions have been drawn as to the manner of attachment of substrates to the enzyme surface. Certain correlations between the molecular requirements for efficient binding of steroids to the enzyme surface and their physiological activities are demonstrated.

The present study describes the kinetics of L-lysine-α-oxidase (LO) from Trichoderma viride immobilised by co-crosslinking onto the surface of a Pt electrode. The resulting amperometric biosensor was able to analyse L-lysine, thus permitting a simple but thorough study of the kinetics of the immobilised enzyme. The kinetic study evidenced that LO behaves in an allosteric fashion and that cooperativity is strongly pH-dependent. Not less important, experimental evidence shows that cooperativity is also dependent on substrate concentration at high pH and behaves as predicted by the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model for allosteric enzymes. According to this model, the existence of two different conformational states of the enzyme was postulated, which differ in Lys species landing on LO to form the enzyme–substrate complex. Considerations about the influence of the peculiar LO kinetics on biosensor operations and extracorporeal reactor devices will be discussed as well. Not less important, the present study also shows the effectiveness of using immobilised enzymes and amperometric biosensors not only for substrate analysis, but also as a convenient tool for enzyme kinetic studies.

An experimental study was made of the hydrolyses of phenyl phosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphate catalyzed by chicken intestinal alkaline phosphatase. The work was done at pH 8.0 and 10.0, 25.0 °C, and an ionic strength of 0.1 M, and particular attention was paid to the kinetics of formation of the products in the presence of Tris and ethanolamine. It was found that the rates of formation of phenol or p-nitrophenol (P1) and of the phosphorylated nucleophile (P3) were dependent on the concentration of added nucleophile; on the other hand the rate of formation of phosphate (P2) and the Michaelis constant were independent of nucleophile concentration. This result cannot be reconciled with any of the mechanisms discussed in the preceding paper with the exception of mechanism VI, which is an elaboration of one proposed by Trentham and Gutfreund; mechanism VI is[Formula: see text]where W is water and N the alternative nucleophile. ES and E*S are two conformers of the enzyme–substrate complex, and E*S′ and ES′ two forms of the phosphorylated enzyme; only the latter can react with water and only the former with nucleophile.

A kinetic analysis of the Michaelis-Menten mechanism has been made for the case in which both the enzyme-substrate complex and the product are unstable or only the product is unstable, either spontaneously or as the result of the addition of a reagent. This analysis allows the derivation of equations which under conditions of limiting enzyme concentration relate the concentration of all of the species to the time. A kinetic data analysis is suggested, which leads to the evaluation of the kinetic parameters involved in the reaction. The analysis is based on the equation which describes the formation of products with time and one's experimental progress curves. We demonstrate the method numerically by computer simulation of the reaction with added experimental errors and experimentally by the use of data from the kinetic study of the action of tyrosinase on dopamine.

<div> <p>Substrate inhibition is the most common deviation from Michaelis-Menten kinetics, occurring in approximately 25% of known enzymes. It is generally attributed to the formation of an unproductive enzyme-substrate complex after the simultaneous binding of two or more substrate molecules to the active site. Here, we show that a single point mutation (L177W) in the haloalkane dehalogenase LinB causes strong substrate inhibition. Surprisingly, a global kinetic analysis suggested that this inhibition is caused by binding of the substrate to the enzyme-product complex. Molecular dynamics simulations clarified the details of this unusual mechanism of substrate inhibition: Markov state models indicated that the substrate prevents the exit of the halide product by direct blockage and/or restricting conformational flexibility. The contributions of three residues forming the possible substrate inhibition site (W140A, F143L and I211L) to the observed inhibition were studied by mutagenesis. An unusual synergy giving rise to high catalytic efficiency and reduced substrate inhibition was observed between residues L177W and I211L, which are located in different access tunnels of the protein. These results show that substrate inhibition can be caused by substrate binding to the enzyme-product complex and can be controlled rationally by targeted amino acid substitutions in enzyme access tunnels. </p> </div> <br>
