Laidler (1955) showed that consideration of the effect of pH on enzymic mechanisms that obey steady-state kinetics leads to the inclusion in the equations of a ‘perturbation term’ that can introduce curvature into the Lineweaver–Burk plots. He also stated conditions in which this term vanishes. This term can lead to apparent activation by substrate. Further, several cases are shown in which simplification, but not disappearance, of the perturbation term can lead to linearity of Lineweaver–Burk plots. These cases arise when the ionization of groups at the active site either is unaffected or is completely prevented when the enzyme–substrate complex is formed. It is also shown that V(app.) can vary with pH without a concomitant change in Km(app.) in certain cases that obey steady-state kinetics without implying that Km=Ks. When the perturbation term is significant, Dixon's (1953) rules for the calculation of pK values will not always apply.

A theoretical treatment is worked out for the kinetic scheme[Formula: see text]in which two enzyme–substrate complexes are formed consecutively. The steady-state rate equations are obtained, and equations are given for the transient phase subject to the condition that the substrate concentration is greatly in excess of that of the enzyme. Some kinetic consequences of the resulting equations are discussed.

A theoretical treatment is worked out for the kinetic scheme[Formula: see text]in which the concentration of P1 is followed. The steady-state and transient phase equations are obtained subject to the condition that the substrate concentration is greatly in excess of the enzyme concentration. The conditions under which evidence in favor of this mechanism can be obtained from experimental data are discussed. Under certain conditions, the weight of the enzyme corresponding to one active site can be determined. Methods for the evaluation of the different constants are described.

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) was studied in the ventilated-perfused rat lung in vitro. Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis were obtained by ventilating with 2, 7, or 10% CO2 (21% O2-balance N2). Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis were produced by the addition of 0.9 N NaHCO3 or 1 N lactic acid to the perfusate at constant PCO2. At each pH the pressor responses to 2 and 4% O2 were compared with the maximum pressor response (R%max) obtained with zero O2 and 5% CO2 at a normal pH (approximately 7.35). HPV was maximal when the [H+] was between 38 and 50 nM and was attenuated by changes of pH in either direction. Both respiratory and metabolic pH changes had similar effects. The combined linear regression equations were as follows: with 2% O2 the response to acidosis was R%max = 101.37 – 0.52 [H+] and to alkalosis was R%max = 2.03 [H+] - 3.85; with 4% O2 the response to acidosis was R%max = 56.88 – 0.3 [H+] and to alkalosis was R%max = 1.16 [H+] - 4.95. These effects were not due to changes of ionized calcium.

The enolase activity of the human erythrocyte has been studied with a partially purified preparation of the enzyme. The enzyme was found to have an absolute requirement for Mg2+ions. A kinetic study of the influence of the concentration of Mg ions and 2-phosphoglycerate on the formation of phosphoeno/pyruvate from 2-phosphoglycerate has shown that the active complex of enzyme, substrate, and activator (Mg2+) can be formed in several ways. With low concentrations of substrate and Mg2+the reaction was maximum at pH 7.0; with high concentrations of both, the activity was maximum over a wide range of hydrogen ion concentrations on the acid side of neutrality (at least from pH 6.3 to 7.0) and decreased above pH 7.0.
