1. The kinetic mechanism of formate dehydrogenase is a sequential pathway. 2. The binding of the substrates proceeds in an obligatory order, NAD+ binding first, followed by formate. 3. It seems most likely that the interconversion of the central ternary complex is extremely rapid, and that the rate-limiting step is the formation or possible isomerization of the enzyme–coenzyme complexes. 4. The secondary plots of the inhibitions with HCO3− and NO3− are non-linear, which suggests that more than one molecule of each species is able to bind to the same enzyme form. 5. The rate of the reverse reaction with carbon dioxide at pH6.0 is 20 times that with bicarbonate at pH8.0, although no product inhibition could be detected with carbon dioxide. The low rate of the reverse reaction precluded any steady-state analysis as the enzyme concentrations needed to obtain a measurable rate are of the same order as the Km values for NAD+ and NADH.

The kinetic mechanism of homogeneous human glutamic-gamma-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.12) with glutamic gamma-semialdehyde as substrate was determined by initial-velocity, product-inhibition and dead-end-inhibition studies to be compulsory ordered with rapid interconversion of the ternary complexes (Theorell-Chance). Product-inhibition studies with NADH gave a competitive pattern versus varied NAD+ concentrations and a non-competitive pattern versus varied glutamic gamma-semialdehyde concentrations, whereas those with glutamate gave a competitive pattern versus varied glutamic gamma-semialdehyde concentrations and a non-competitive pattern versus varied NAD+ concentrations. The order of substrate binding and release was determined by dead-end-inhibition studies with ADP-ribose and L-proline as the inhibitors and shown to be: NAD+ binds to the enzyme first, followed by glutamic gamma-semialdehyde, with glutamic acid being released before NADH. The Kia and Kib values were 15 +/- 7 microM and 12.5 microM respectively, and the Ka and Kb values were 374 +/- 40 microM and 316 +/- 36 microM respectively; the maximal velocity V was 70 +/- 5 mumol of NADH/min per mg of enzyme. Both NADH and glutamate were product inhibitors, with Ki values of 63 microM and 15,200 microM respectively. NADH release from the enzyme may be the rate-limiting step for the overall reaction.

AbstractNatural zeolitic tuff from Brus (Serbia) consisting mostly of clinoptilolite (about 90%) has been investigated for the reduction of the Mg concentration in spring water. The sorption capacity of the zeolite is relatively low (about 2.5 mg Mg g-1for the initial concentration of 100 mg Mg dm-3). The zeolitic tuff removes Mg from water solutions by ion exchange, which has been demonstrated by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). The extent of ion exchange was influenced by the pH and the initial Mg concentration. Kinetic studies revealed that Lagergen's pseudo-second order model was followed. Intra-particle diffusion of Mg2+influenced the ion exchange, but it is not the rate-limiting step. Rather than having to dispose of the Mg-loaded (waste) zeolite, a possible application was tested. Addition to a wastewater with a low concentration of Mg showed that it could successfully make up for the lack of Mg micronutrient and, accordingly, enabled the growth of phosphate-accumulating bacteriaA. Junii, increasing the amount of phosphate removed from the wastewater.

The substrate specificity of sheep liver sorbitol dehydrogenase has been studied by steady-state kinetics over the range pH 7-10. Sorbitol dehydrogenase stereo-selectively catalyses the reversible NAD-linked oxidation of various polyols and other secondary alcohols into their corresponding ketones. The kinetic constants are given for various novel polyol substrates, including L-glucitol, L-mannitol, L-altritol, D-altritol, D-iditol and eight heptitols, as well as for many aliphatic and aromatic alcohols. The maximum velocities (kcat) and the substrate specificity-constants (kcat/Km) are positively correlated with increasing pH. The enzyme-catalysed reactions occur by a compulsory ordered kinetic mechanism with the coenzyme as the first, or leading, substrate. With many substrates, the rate-limiting step for the overall reaction is the enzyme-NADH product dissociation. However, with several substrates there is a transition to a mechanism with partial rate-limitation at the ternary complex level, especially at low pH. The kinetic data enable the elucidation of new empirical rules for the substrate specificity of sorbitol dehydrogenase. The specificity-constants for polyol oxidation vary as a function of substrate configuration with D-xylo > d-ribo > L-xylo > d-lyxo ≈ l-arabino > D-arabino > l-lyxo. Catalytic activity with a polyol or an aromatic substrate and various 1-deoxy derivatives thereof varies with -CH2OH >-CH2NH2 >-CH2OCH3 ≈-CH3. The presence of a hydroxyl group at each of the remaining chiral centres of a polyol, apart from the reactive C2, is also nonessential for productive ternary complex formation and catalysis. A predominantly nonpolar enzymic epitope appears to constitute an important structural determinant for the substrate specificity of sorbitol dehydrogenase. The existence of two distinct substrate binding regions in the enzyme active site, along with that of the catalytic zinc, is suggested to account for the lack of stereospecificity at C2 in some polyols.

Abstract Purified maize leaf adenylate kinase (AK) was shown to use one molecule each of free ADP and Mg-ADP as well as free AM P and Mg-ATP as substrates in the forward and reverse reaction, respectively. This was deduced from substrate kinetic studies which were carried out under conditions of strictly defined concentrations of free and Mg-complexed adenylate species and under controlled free magnesium levels. Apparent Km values of the substrates of AK were 3 and 6 μM for ADP and Mg-ADP, respectively (forward reaction), and 69 and 25 μM for free AMP and Mg-ATP, respectively (reverse reaction). The enzyme was competitively inhibited by P1,P5-di(adenosine-5′)pentaphosphate (Ap5A), a bisubstrate analog of AK reaction, with apparent Ki values in the range of 11 -80 nM , depending on variable substrate. Substrate kinetic studies and inhibition patterns with Ap5A suggested a sequential random kinetic mechanism in both directions of the reaction. These properties of a higher plant AK are similar or analogous to those previously established for the enzyme from yeast and non-plant tissues.

In order to confirm the kinetic mechanism which was proposed for rabbit muscle phosphorylase a on the basis of initial rate studies and UDP-glucose inhibition experiments, isotope exchange studies at equilibrium were performed, both in the presence and absence of the modifier AMP.Both the 14C-glucose [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]1-phosphate equilibrium exchange rates increased to a maximum as the concentrations of the varied substrates became saturating, either in the presence or absence of AMP. The plateaus observed in these experiments indicate the lack of inhibition of the exchange of one pair of substrates when the concentration of the other substrate pair was raised, and confirms the proposed random addition of substrates to the enzyme.The fact that similar exchange rates were observed for either reaction direction reinforced the concept that rapid equilibrium conditions apply to the phosphorylase a mechanism; i.e. the interconversion of the ternary complexes tends to be the rate-limiting step in the reaction sequence.Maximal velocities determined from initial rate data reported in the previous paper agreed with those calculated from isotope exchange rates.

The catalytic oxidation of propane over nickel(II) oxide has been studied in the temperature range 280 to 490 °C. Complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and water occurred. Fractional rate order dependencies were obtained for propane and oxygen and the reaction was inhibited by water vapour but not by carbon dioxide. It is suggested that the interaction of the adsorbed hydrocarbon with the adsorbed oxygen species, O−, is the rate-limiting step in the reaction at the lower temperature.Preliminary measurements of the oxidation of propane–methanol mixtures indicated that the alcohol supressed carbon dioxide formation. Conductivity studies have shown that, in these mixtures, methanol strongly interacts with the catalyst resulting in surface reduction.

The kinetic mechanism of rat liver hexokinase D ('glucokinase') was studied under non-co-operative conditions with 2-deoxyglucose as substrate, chosen to avoid uncertainties derived from the co-operativity observed with the physiological substrate, glucose. The enzyme shows hyperbolic kinetics with respect to both 2-deoxyglucose and MgATP2-, and the reaction follows a ternary-complex mechanism with Km = 19.2±2.3mM for 2-deoxyglucose and 0.56±0.05mM for MgATP2-. Product inhibition by MgADP- was mixed with respect to MgATP2- and was largely competitive with respect to 2-deoxyglucose, suggesting an ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate and MgADP- as last product. Dead-end inhibition by N-acetylglucosamine, AMP and the inert complex CrATP [the complex of ATP with chromium in the 3+ oxidation state, i.e. Cr(III)—ATP], studied with respect to both substrates, also supports an ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate. AMP appears to bind both to the free enzyme and to the E·dGlc complex. Experiments involving protection against inactivation by 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) support the existence of the E·MgADP- and E·AMP complexes suggested by the kinetic studies. MgADP-, AMP, 2-deoxyglucose, glucose and mannose were strong protectors, supporting the existence of binary complexes with the enzyme. Glucose 6-phosphate failed to protect, even at concentrations as high as 100mM, and MgATP2- protected only slightly (12%). The inactivation results support the postulated ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate and MgADP- as last product. In addition, the straight-line dependence observed when the reciprocal value of the inactivation constant was plotted against the sugar-ligand concentration supports the view that there is just one sugar-binding site in hexokinase D.

The NADH-dependent morphinone reductase from Pseudomonas putida M10 catalyses the reduction of morphinone and codeinone to hydromorphone and hydrocodone respectively. Morphinone reductase was purified from crude cell extracts to apparent homogeneity in a single affinity-chromatography step using Mimetic Yellow 2. The purified enzyme was a dimeric flavoprotein with two identical subunits of M(r) 41,100, binding non-covalently one molecule of FMN per subunit. The N-terminal sequence was PDTSFSNPGLFTPLQ. Morphinone reductase was active against morphinone, codeinone, neopinone and 2-cyclohexen-1-one, but not against morphine, codeine or isocodeine. The apparent Km values for codeinone and 2-cyclohexen-1-one were 0.26 mM and 5.5 mM respectively. The steroids progesterone and cortisone were potent competitive inhibitors; the apparent K1 for cortisone was 35 microM. The pH optimum for codeinone reduction was 8.0 in phosphate buffer. No reverse reaction could be detected, and NADPH could not be used as a reducing substrate in place of NADH. Morphinone reductase activity was strongly inhibited by 0.01 mM CuSO4 and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, suggesting the presence of a vital thiol group. Steady-state kinetic studies suggested a Ping Pong (substituted enzyme) kinetic mechanism; however, product-inhibition patterns were inconsistent with a classical Ping Pong mechanism. Morphinone reductase may, like several other flavoprotein dehydrogenases, operate by a hybrid two-site Ping Pong mechanism.

Catalytic Role

Morphine dehydrogenase (MDH) of Pseudomonas putida M10 catalyses the NADP+-dependent oxidation of morphine and codeine to morphinone and codeinone. This enzyme forms the basis of a sensitive detection and assay method for heroin metabolites and a biotransformation process for production of hydromorphone and hydrocodone. To improve these processes we have undertaken a thorough examination of the kinetic mechanism of MDH. Sequence comparisons indicated that MDH belongs within the aldose reductase enzyme family. MDH was shown to be specific for the pro-R hydrogen of NADPH. In steady-state kinetic studies, product inhibition patterns suggested that MDH follows a Theorell-Chance mechanism for codeinone reduction at pH 7, and a non-Theorell-Chance sequential ordered mechanism for codeine oxidation at pH 9.5. Residues corresponding to the catalytically important Tyr-48, Lys-77 and Asp-43 of aldose reductase were modified by site-directed mutagenesis, resulting in substantial loss of activity consistent with a catalytic role for these residues. Loss of activity of MDH in the presence of the reaction product morphinone was found to be due to the formation of a covalent adduct with Cys-80; alteration of Cys-80 to serine resulted in an enzyme with greatly enhanced stability.
