A kinetic study of an ATP–ADP amplification cyclic system involving the enzymes adenylate kinase, pyruvate kinase and l-lactate dehydrogenase has been made. The stoichiometry of the cycle is 2:1, because two molecules of ADP are synthesized from one each of ATP and AMP, and one molecule of ADP is converted back into one of ATP at each turn of the cycle. This results in a continuous exponential increase in the concentrations of ATP and ADP in the reaction medium, according to the equations obtained. This is therefore a substrate cycle that amplifies itself, the cycling rate increasing continuously with time. The background signal of the reagent was reduced by using apyrase to degrade ATP and ADP in the reagent, permitting detection limits as low as 16pmol of ATP and/or ADP in a continuous spectrophotometric assay.

Abstract Kinetics of triiodothyronine (T3) induced changes were studied in cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH), mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of the liver and skeletal muscle of a catfish, Clarias batrachus. The rates of gradual inductions in the activities of all the three metabolic enzymes were faster in skeletal muscle than those of the liver. These time-dependent and tissue-specific inductions may be due to the possible differences in the rates of different enzymic syntheses. The maximum inductions in the activities of cMDH, mMDH and LDH were recorded around 19 hr after T3 treatment. Thereafter, the activities of all the enzymes gradually declined to their half levels within the next 12 hr which reflected the physiological half-life of these metabolic enzymes in the freshwater catfish.

ABSTRACT Lactococcal lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs) are coregulated at the substrate level by at least two mechanisms: the fructose-1,6-biphosphate/phosphate ratio and the NADH/NAD ratio. Among the Lactococcus lactis species, there are strains that are predominantly regulated by the first mechanism (e.g., strain 65.1) or by the second mechanism (e.g., strain NCDO 2118). A more complete model of the kinetics of the regulation of lactococcal LDH is discussed.
