Pre-steady-state studies of the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction show that the rate constant for the hydride-transfer step is above 990s-1, and that both subunits of the enzyme are simulataneously active. After the fast formation of NADPH in amounts equivalent to the enzyme subunit concentration, the rate of NADPH formation is equal to the steady-state rate if the enzyme has been preincubated with isocitrate and Mg2+. If the enzyme has been preincubated with NADP+ and Mg2+, in 0.05 M-triethanolamine chloride buffer, pH 7.0, with the addition of 0.1 M-NaCl, the amount of NADPH formed in the fast phase is only 60% of the enzyme subunit concentration, and the turnover rate is at first lower than the steady-state rate. In 0.05 M-triethanolamine chloride buffer, pH 7.0, if the enzyme is preincubated with NADP+ or NADPH, the turnover rate increases 3-fold to reach the steady-state rate after about 5 s. Preincubation of the enzyme with isocitrate and Mg2+ abolishes this lag phase, the steady-state rate being reached at once. It is suggested that the enzyme exists in at least two conformational forms with different activities, and that the lag phase represents the transition (k = 0.4s-1) from a form with low activity to the fully active enzyme, induced by the binding of isocitrate and Mg2+.

The kinetics of dissociation of NADPH from its complex with isocitrate dehydrogenase, and from the abortive complex of enzyme, Mg 2+ , isocitrate and NADPH, have been studied in phosphate and triethanolamine buffers by means of rapid fluorescence measurements. The reactions are complex, and it is suggested that a conformational equilibrium of each of the complexes is involved, and that this conformational change is also responsible for a slow approach to the steady-state rate of oxidative decarboxylation observed previously in triethanolamine buffer under certain conditions (K. Dalziel, N. McFerran, B. Matthews & C. H. Reynolds, Biochem . J . 171, 743‒750 (1978)). It is concluded that release of free NADPH product is not the rate-limiting step in oxidative decarboxylation in the steady state. The validity of the ligand displacement method used to measure the dissociation kinetics of the enzyme‒NADPH complex has been studied by computer simulation.

1. The Ca2+dependence of the activity of plasma Factor XIIIa was studied by using the continuous assay based on the incorporation of dansylcadaverine into dephosphorylated acetylated β-casein (β-substrate). The Km for Ca2+is about 0.170mm. 2. At low concentrations of Ca2+there was a lag in attaining the steady-state rate. The size of the lag was decreased and eventually abolished if the enzyme was preincubated with a high concentration of Ca2+before assay. The concentration of Ca2+required to decrease the lag phase by 50% in 10min depended on the protein concentration: at 0.87mg of protein/ml it required 17mm-Ca2+and at 0.44mg/ml it needed 10mm-Ca2+. 3. The concentrations of Ca2+required either to abolish the lag phase in the appearance of enzyme activity or to activate the essential thiol for reaction with 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) in 10min incubation were similar at the same protein concentration. This indicated that Ca2+induces a conformation change that is responsible for both phenomena. A model is proposed that links this conformation change to the dissociation of the tetrameric enzyme. 4. This was supported by the observation that the addition of excess of b chains to the Factor XIIIa (a′2b2) increased the concentration of Ca2+required to expose the reactive thiol, and inhibited the Ca2+-dependent aggregation of a′ chains. 5. Platelet Factor XIIIa (a′2) was inhibited by 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) in the absence of Ca2+, and no lag phases were observed in attaining the steady-state rate at low Ca2+concentrations, thus confirming the model for the activation of the plasma enzyme. 6. The Ca2+dependence of platelet Factor XIIIa indicated that Ca2+has an additional role in the enzyme mechanism of the plasma enzyme, perhaps being involved in substrate binding. 7. The dependence of the stability of plasma Factor XIIIa on Ca2+and protein concentration indicates that the decay in activity is related to the tetramer dissociation. 8. β-Substrate decreased the Ca2+concentration required for (1) abolition of the lag phase and (2) enzyme inhibition by thiol reagents. The effect on the former is greater than on the latter. 9. The role of the b chains of the plasma Factor and the evolutionary significance of the plasma and platelet Factors are considered.

Pyrophosphate ions activate the steady-state rate of oxidation of propionaldehyde by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase at alkaline pH values. The steps in the mechanism governing the release of NADH from terminal enzyme. NADH complexes have been shown to be rate-limiting at pH 7.6 [MacGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell (1977) Biochem J. 165, 455-462]. These steps are shown to be also rate-limiting at more alkaline pH values, and it is through an acceleration of these steps that pyrophosphate ions exert their activation effect.

1. Pre-modification of cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase by disulfiram results in the same extent of inactivation when the enzyme is subsequently assayed as a dehydrogenase or as an esterase. 2. 4-Nitrophenyl acetate protects the enzyme against inactivation by disulfiram, particularly well in the absence of NAD+. Some protection is also provided by chloral hydrate and indol-3-ylacetaldehyde (in the absence of NAD+). 3. When disulfiram is prevented from reacting at its usual site by the presence of 4-nitrophenyl acetate, it reacts elsewhere on the enzyme molecule without causing inactivation. 4. Enzyme in the presence of aldehyde and NAD+ is not at all protected against disulfiram. It is proposed that, under these circumstances, disulfiram reacts with the enzyme-NADH complex formed in the enzyme-catalysed reaction. 5. Modification by disulfiram results in a decrease in the amplitude of the burst of NADH formation during the dehydrogenase reaction, as well as a decrease in the steady-state rate. 6. 2,2′-Dithiodipyridine reacts with the enzyme both in the absence and presence of NAD+. Under the former circumstances the activity of the enzyme is little affected, but when the reaction is conducted in the presence of NAD+ the enzyme is activated by approximately 2-fold and is then relatively insensitive to the inactivatory effect of disulfiram. 7. Enzyme activated by 2,2′-dithiodipyridine loses most of its activity when stored over a period of a few days at 4 degrees C, or within 30 min when treated with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. 8. Points for and against the proposal that the disulfiram-sensitive groups are catalytically essential are discussed.

Equations are developed for the pre-steady state kinetics of the proteolytic enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of a substrate A in the presence of a monitoring substrate (or covalent inhibitor) S of known properties. A two-intermediate acyl–enzyme mechanism is assumed in which the first intermediate is in instantaneous equilibrium with enzyme and substrate. The appearance of the first product of substrate S is characterized by two relaxation rate constants. From these constants it is possible to determine the dissociation constant and the acylation and deacylation rate constants of substrate A. Criteria are also developed for using the steady state rate parameters of A to establish conditions for which the slower relaxation process is equivalent to the deacylation rate constant of A. The technique of premixing enzyme with substrate A has certain advantages in this approach.

Oxamate competes with pyruvate for the substrate binding site on the ENADH complex of pig skeletal muscle lactate dehydrogenase. When this enzyme was mixed with saturating concentrations of NAD+ and lactate in a stopped-flow rapid-reaction spectrophotometer there was no transient accumulation of enzyme complexes with the reduced nucleotide. The steady-state rate of formation of free NADH was reached within the dead-time of the instrument (3ms). When oxamate was added to inhibit the steady state and to uncouple the equilibration: [Formula: see text] through the rapid formation of ENADHOxamate, the rate of formation of ENADH could be measured by observation of the first turnover. This pH-dependent transient is controlled by the rate of dissociation of pyruvate and the fraction of the enzyme in the form ENADHPyruvate.

Steady state rate equations have been derived for ordered bi bi and ping pong bi bi reactions in which there are (a) one or two nonsubstrate modifiers, (b) two different binding sites for a single nonsubstrate modifier, (c) one or two substrates acting as modifiers, and (d) both nonsubstrate modifiers and substrates acting as modifiers. The deviation of these equations from the Michaelis–Menten equation is shown and methods are suggested by which many of these mechanisms can be distinguished experimentally.

The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate catalysed by cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) from sheep liver was studied by steady-state and transient kinetic techniques. NAD+ and NADH stimulated the steady-state rate of ester hydrolysis at concentrations expected on the basis of their Michaelis constants from the dehydrogenase reaction. At higher concentrations of the coenzymes, both NAD+ and NADH inhibited the reaction competitively with respect to 4-nitrophenyl acetate, with inhibition constants of 104 and 197 micron respectively. Propionaldehyde and chloral hydrate are competitive inhibitors of the esterase reaction. A burst in the production of 4-nitrophenoxide ion was observed, with a rate constant of 12 +/- 2s-1 and a burst amplitude that was 30% of that expected on the basis of the known NADH-binding site concentration. The rate-limiting step for the esterase reaction occurs after the formation of 4-nitrophenoxide ion. Arguments are presented for the existence of distinct ester- and aldehyde-binding sites.

The software WinStes, developed by our group, is used to derive the strict steady-state initial rate equation of the reaction mechanism of CTP:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase [EC 2.7.7.39] from Bacillus subtilis. This enzyme catalyzes a reaction with two substrates and operates by a random ordered binding mechanism with two molecules of each substrate. The accuracy of the steady-state rate equation derived is checked by comparing the rate values it provides with those obtained from the simulated progress curves. To analyze the kinetics of this enzyme using the strict steady-state initial rate equation, several curves for different substrate concentrations and different rate constants are generated. A comparison of these curves with the curves obtained from the rapid equilibrium initial rate equation, with different substrate concentration values, serves to analyze how the strict steady-state rate equation values are closer to those of rapid equilibrium rate equations when rapid equilibrium conditions are fulfilled.

When the production of bilirubin by biliverdin reductase was monitored at 460 nm by stopped-flow spectrophotometry a ‘burst’ was observed with a first-order rate constant at pH 8 of 20 s-1. The steady-state rate was established on completion of the ‘burst’. When the reaction was monitored at 401 nm there was no observed steady-state rate, but a diminished pre-steady-state ‘burst’ reaction was still seen with a rate constant of 22 s-1. We argue that the rate-limiting reaction is the dissociation of bilirubin from an enzyme.NADP+.bilirubin complex. With NADPH as the cofactor the hydride-transfer step was shown to exhibit pH-dependence associated with an ionizing group with a pK of 7.2. The kinetics of NADPH binding to the enzyme at pH 7.0 were measured by monitoring the quenching of protein fluorescence on binding the coenzyme.
