p-Cresol methylhydroxylases from four different pseudomonads differ in their isoelectric points and, to a lesser extent, in Mr values and substrate specificity. The enzymes from three species were isolated in homogeneous form, then resolved into their flavoprotein and cytochrome subunits, and the subunits were recombined to yield the nine possible hybrids (i.e. three intraspecies and six interspecies). The resulting flavocytochromes showed extensive similarities in steady-state kinetic parameters and in the dissociation constants of their subunits. Evidence is also presented that a fourth type of p-cresol methylhydroxylase, from Pseudomonas putida (N.C.I.B. 9869, form ‘B’), the subunits of which cannot be isolated by the isoelectric focusing technique used to separate the subunits of the other flavocytochromes, nevertheless dissociates slowly at high dilution. The dissociation is reflected by a decline of catalytic activity with time. This process for the ‘B’ enzyme is prevented by the presence of substrate or an excess of a cytochrome subunit isolated from another enzyme species. Incubation of the dissociated subunits with p-cresol brings about extensive, albeit incomplete, re-association and regeneration of activity.

Abstract This is the first report describing the enhancement of xylanase activity by the neutral amino acid glycine. Xylanase activity is increased seven-fold at alkaline pH in the presence of glycine and its pH optimum is shifted from pH 7 to 8 without using any protein engineering techniques. Analysis of the steady-state kinetics revealed that glycine in the reaction mixture increases the K m and k cat values of the enzyme. Chemoaffinity labeling and studies using glycine esters indicate an involvement of the carboxylate ion of glycine in enhancing xylanase catalytic activity. A novel possible mechanism for the glycine-assisted catalytic action of xylanase is proposed.

In this paper, NixCo3-xTiO4 nanowire as anode materials was prepared by co-deposition method, and the characterized results showed that had good crystallinity by SEM. The cobalt and nickel were enriched in the surface in the sample by XPS. The catalytic performance of NixCo3-xTiO4 was studied by cyclic voltammetry and constant potential. The results showed that when the Co: Ni = 4:1, the temperature was 120°C, NixCo3-xTiO4 nanowires had high catalytic activity and good stability by the cyclic voltammetry and the steady state polarization curves.

1. The specific activity of yeast hexokinase A depends on the concentration of the protein in the solution being assayed. When a solution containing 13.5 mg of hexokinase A/ml is diluted 10-100-fold at various values of pH and temperature, there is a gradual decline in the specific activity of the enzyme until an equilibrium value is reached, which varies with the chosen experimental conditions. 2. The catalytic activity lost when hexokinase A (1 mg/ml) is incubated at 30degreesC is recovered by lowering the temperature to 25degreesC. 3. These concentration- and temperature-dependent phenomena are consistent with the existence of a monomer-dimer equilibrium in which the dimer alone is the catalytic form of the enzyme. 4. Glucose alone prevents the decline in specific activity of hexokinase A after dilution, but it does not re-activate dilute solutions solutions of the enzyme. It is concluded that glucose binds to both the dimer and the monomer and prevents both association and dissociation. 5. The progress curve describing the phosphorylation of glucose catalysed by hexokinase A does not attain a steady state. It is possible that dissociation of catalytically active dimers in a ternary complex with glucose and ATP (or glucose 6-phosphate and ADP) could explain the non-linearity of this progress curve.

Bulgecin A, a sulphonated N-acetyl-D-glucosamine unit linked to a 4-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethylproline ring by a β-glycosidic linkage, is a novel type of inhibitor for binuclear metallo-β-lactamases. Using steady-state kinetic analysis with nitrocefin as the β-lactam substrate, bulgecin A competitively inhibited the metallo-β-lactamase BceII from Bacillus cereus in its two-zinc form, but failed to inhibit when the enzyme was in the single-zinc form. The competitive inhibition was restored by restoring the second zinc ion. The single-zinc metallo-β-lactamase from Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria, ImiS, was not inhibited by bulgecin A. The tetrameric L1 metallo-β-lactamase from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was subject to partial non-competitive inhibition, which is consistent with a kinetic model in which the enzyme bound to inhibitor retains catalytic activity. Docking experiments support the conclusion that bulgecin A co-ordinates to the zinc II site in metallo-β-lactamases via the terminal sulphonate group on the sugar moiety.

A novel enzyme reactor for phospholipid-dependent reactions was used to study the effects of flow on tissue factor-initiated coagulation. Microcapillaries were coated with a phospholipid bilayer containing tissue factor, a transmembrane protein that is an essential cofactor for a plasma procoagulant enzyme, factor VII. We show that, in contrast to static, closed systems, the steady-state catalytic activity is independent of enzyme concentration and the time to steady state becomes a function of the enzyme concentration.
