1. The reversible NAD+-linked oxidation of d-3-hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate in 0.1m-sodium pyrophosphate buffer, pH8.5, at 25.0°C, catalysed by d-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (d-3-hydroxybutyrate–NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.30), was studied by initial-velocity, dead-end inhibition and product-inhibition analysis. 2. The reactions were carried out on (a) the soluble enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and (b) an insoluble derivative of this enzyme prepared by its covalent attachment to DEAE-cellulose by using 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine as coupling agent. 3. The insolubilized enzyme preparation contained 5mg of protein/g wet wt. of total material, and when freshly prepared its specific activity was 1.2μmol/min per mg of protein, which is 67% of that of the soluble dialysed enzyme. 4. The reactions catalysed by both the enzyme in solution and the insolubilized enzyme were shown to follow sequential pathways in which the nicotinamide nucleotides bind obligatorily first to the enzyme. Evidence is presented for kinetically significant ternary complexes and that the rate-limiting step(s) of both catalyses probably involves isomerization of the enzyme–nicotinamide nucleotide complexes and/or dissociation of the nicotinamide nucleotides from the enzyme. Both catalyses therefore are probably best described as ordered Bi Bi mechanisms, possibly with multiple enzyme–nicotinamide nucleotide complexes. 5. The kinetic parameters and the calculable rate constants for the catalysis by the soluble enzyme are similar to the corresponding parameters and rate constants for the catalysis by the insolubilized enzyme.

The steady-state kinetics of the major form of ox kidney aldehyde reductase with d-glucuronic acid have been determined at pH7. Initial rate and product inhibition studies performed in both directions are consistent with a Di-Iso Ordered Bi Bi mechanism. The mechanism of inhibition by sodium valproate and benzoic acid is shown to involve flux through an alternative pathway.

Kinetic analysis of substrate specificity revealed that a recombinant Arabidopsis protein catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycolate (Km,glyoxylate = 4.5 μmol·L–1) and succinic semialdehyde (SSA) to γ-hydroxybutyrate (Km, SSA = 0.87 mmol·L–1) via an essentially irreversible, NADPH-based mechanism. In this report, the enzyme was further characterized via initial-velocity, dead-end inhibition and product inhibition studies. The kinetic mechanism was ordered Bi Bi, involving the complexation of NADPH to the enzyme before glyoxylate or SSA, and the release of NADP+ before glycolate or γ-hydroxybutyrate, respectively. It can be concluded that the enzyme functions as a NADPH-dependent glyoxylate reductase (EC 1.1.1.79) or possibly an aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.2), and the kinetic mechanism involved is consistent with that found in members of both the aldo-keto reductase and 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase-related superfamilies of enzymes. Since NADP+ was an effective competitive inhibitor with respect to NADPH (Ki = 1–3 µmol·L–1), it is proposed that the ratio of NADPH/NADP+ regulates enzymatic activity in planta.

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.

Malonyl-CoA synthetase catalyses the formation of malonyl-CoA directly from malonate and CoA with hydrolysis of ATP into AMP and PP1. The catalytic mechanism of malonyl-CoA synthetase from Bradyrhizobium japonicum was investigated by steady-state kinetics. Initial-velocity studies and the product-inhibition studies with AMP and PPi strongly suggested ordered Bi Uni Uni Bi Ping Pong Ter Ter system as the most probable steady-state kinetic mechanism of malonyl-CoA synthetase. Michaelis constants were 61 microM, 260 microM and 42 microM for ATP, malonate and CoA respectively, and the value for Vmax, was 11.2 microM/min. The t.l.c. analysis of the 32P-labelled products in a reaction mixture containing [gamma-32P]ATP in the absence of CoA showed that PPi was produced after the sequential addition of ATP and malonate. Formation of malonyl-AMP, suggested as an intermediate in the kinetically deduced mechanism, was confirmed by the analysis of 31P-n.m.r. spectra of an AMP product isolated from the 18O-transfer experiment using [18O]malonate. The 31P-n.m.r. signal of the AMP product appeared at 0.024 p.p.m. apart from that of [16O4]AMP, indicating that one atom of 18O transferred from [18O]malonate to AMP through the formation of malonyl-AMP. Formation of malonyl-AMP was also confirmed through the t.l.c. analysis of reaction mixture containing [alpha-32P]ATP. These results strongly support the ordered Bi Uni Uni Bi Pin Pong Ter Ter mechanism deduced from initial-velocity and product-inhibition studies.

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.

1. The calculation of the rate constants from steady-state kinetics of a single-substrate–single-product enzyme reaction in which there is an isomerization of the enzyme is described. 2. It is shown that even with the use of isotopically labelled substrates a set of solutions for the constants is obtained rather than a unique solution. However, limits are derived within which they must lie. 3. The most appropriate observations to determine the rate constants are measurements of Vmax. and Km for both substrate and product, and measurement of the degree of countertransport in an induced-transport test. 4. Experimental procedures for induced-transport tests and the quantitative interpretation of the results obtained are discussed. 5. Product inhibition is shown to be an ambiguous and imprecise means of determining the rate constants. Further, the absence of a [substrate]×[product] term in the denominator of the steady-state rate equation does not necessarily mean that the isomerization of the enzyme is rapid, since the term also disappears when the isomerization is very slow. 6. Similar considerations apply to carrier mechanisms.

The kinetic mechanism of SCS [succinyl-CoA (coenzyme A) synthetase], which participates in the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle, ketone body metabolism and haem biosynthesis, has not been fully characterized. Namely, a representative catalytic mechanism and associated kinetic parameters that can explain data on the enzyme-catalysed reaction kinetics have not been established. To determine an accurate model, a set of putative mechanisms of SCS, proposed by previous researchers, were tested against experimental data (from previous publication) on SCS derived from porcine myocardium. Based on comparisons between model simulation and the experimental data, an ordered ter–ter mechanism with dead-end product inhibition of succinate against succinyl-CoA is determined to be the best candidate mechanism. A thermodynamically constrained set of parameter values is identified for this candidate mechanism.

ADP sulphurylase (EC 2.7.7.5) was purified by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and DEAE-cellulose. The enzyme was assayed by measuring the incorporation of [32P]Pi into ADP in the presence of the substrate for the reverse reaction, adenosine 5′-sulphatophosphate. In the concentration ranges investigated, by using initial-velocity, product-inhibition and isotope-exchange studies, the data were consistent with a Ping Pong reaction mechanism, with Km for adenosine 5′-sulphatophosphate of 1.20 +/- 0.08 mM and a Km for Pi of 4.95 +/- 0.15 mM. Competitive substrate inhibition by Pi (Ki = 11.7 +/- 0.3 mM) was found. ADP sulphurylase catalyses a sulphate-independent Pi-ADP exchange reaction, the kinetics of which are consistent with the kinetics of the overall reaction, inconsistent with the assay of Burnell & Anderson [(1973) Biochem. J. 133, 417-428], which is based on a sulphate-dependent Pi-ADP exchange reaction.

1. The reaction catalysed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose 6-phosphate-NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49) from baker's yeast was studied in 42mM-glycylglycine buffer, pH7.4 at 25 degrees C, by initial-velocity studies and by the use of NADPH as a product inhibitor. 2. The reactions catalysed by both the soluble enzyme and a stable enzyme covalently attached to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B probably follow an ordered reaction mechanism with NADP+ and NADPH as the leading reactants. 3. The kinetic constants obtained for the soluble enzyme lere: KNADP+m, 19 muM; KNADP+s, 23 muM; KNADPHs, 15 muM. Similar values were obtained for the immobilized enzyme. 4. The assay of the immobilized enzyme was done by using a micro packed-bed recirculation reactor, and the advantages of this technique are discussed.

We have characterizedEscherichia coliDNA adenine methyltransferase, a critical regulator of bacterial virulence. Steady-state kinetics, product inhibition, and isotope exchange studies are consistent with a kinetic mechanism in which the cofactorS-adenosylmethionine binds first, followed by sequence-specific DNA binding and catalysis. The enzyme has a fast methyl transfer step followed by slower product release steps, and we directly demonstrate the competence of the enzyme cofactor complex. Methylation of adjacent GATC sites is distributive with DNA derived from a genetic element that controls the transcription of the adjacent genes. This indicates that the first methylation event is followed by enzyme release. The affinity of the enzyme for both DNA andS-adenosylmethionine was determined. Our studies provide a basis for further structural and functional analysis of this important enzyme and for the identification of inhibitors for potential therapeutic applications.
