Glutamate mutase is one of a group of adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzymes that use free radicals to catalyse unusual and chemically difficult rearrangements involving 1,2-migrations of hydrogen atoms. A key mechanistic feature of these enzymes is the transfer of the migrating hydrogen atom between substrate, coenzyme and product. The present review summarizes recent experiments from my laboratory that have used rapid chemical quench techniques to identify intermediates in the reaction and probe the mechanism of hydrogen transfer through a variety of pre-steady-state kinetic isotope effect measurements.

Steady-state kinetic measurements showed that NN′-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide decreased the observed H+/2e ratio of H+ transport by mitochondria respiring on succinate, acting mainly at the cytochrome bc1 complex. Thermodynamic assessment of the H+/2e ratio by measuring the force ratio across the bc1 complex showed that the inhibitor did not affect H+ translocation. Possible explanations of this disagreement between methods are examined; we conclude that the inhibitor does not alter the mechanistic stoichiometry of H+ pumping by the bc1 complex.
