1. An investigation of the reaction mechanism of the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-activated pyruvate kinase isolated from the hepatopancreas of the crab Carcinus maenas was conducted. The enzyme was assayed in the presence of 500 microns-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, 75 mM-KCl and 8 mM-Mg2+free at 25 degrees C. The results are consistent with a rapid-equilibrium random mechanism. 2. Evidence is presented that suggests the formation of two mixed-substrate-product dead-end complexes, enzyme-ADP-pyruvate and enzyme-ADP-ATP. 3. Competitive substrate inhibition was observed for both substrates, ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate, suggesting the formation of the complexes enzyme-ADP-ADP and enzyme-phosphoenolpyruvate-phosphoenolpyruvate in the suggested mechanism. 4. Data from the ATP product-inhibition studies indicate the formation of the complex enzyme-ATP-ATP. This suggests that in the reverse reaction ATP also will show substrate inhibition. 5. The presence of a saturating concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate does not cause full activation of the purified preparations of the enzyme. 6. Pyruvate kinase activity in the supernatant of a hepatopancreas homogenate was completely activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, suggesting that the binding of this ligand to the purified pyruvate kinase was impaired.

Data from steady-state kinetic analysis of yeast K+-activated aldehyde dehydrogenase are consistent with a ternary complex mechanism. Evidence from alternative substrate analysis and product-inhibition studies supports an ordered sequence of substrate binding in which NAD+ is the leading substrate. A preincubation requirement for NAD+ for maximum activity is also consistent with the importance of a binary enzyme-NAD+ complex. Dissociation constant for enzyme-NAD+ complex determined kinetically is in reasonable agreement with that determined by direct binding. The order of substrate addition proposed here differs from that proposed for a yeast aldehyde dehydrogenase previously reported. Different methods of purification produced an enzyme that showed similar kinetic characteristics to those reported here.

Monoamine oxidase has been isolated and purified from bovine thyroid microsomes. The general characteristics and steady-state kinetic behavior of the microsomal enzyme have been compared with those of the enzyme isolated from bovine thyroid mitochondria. The enzymes from the two sources exhibit a high degree of substrate specificity with respect to the amines oxidized. 3-Iodotyramine is a noncompetitive inhibitor of tyramine oxidation in the case of both the mitochondrial and microsomal enzymes. Product inhibition studies suggest that the enzymes from mitochondria and microsomes catalyze reactions which proceed by a similar pathway. In contrast to the mitochondrial enzyme, the enzyme isolated from microsomes is susceptible to inhibition by anions in the following order; [Formula: see text].

1. Secondary-amine mono-oxygenase (proposed EC group 1.14.99.-) was partially purified from trimethylamine-grown Pseudomonas aminovorans by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, gel filtration, hydrophobic chromatography on 5-aminopentylamino-Sepharose, and affinity chromatography on Sepharose-bound NADH. 2. Some problems in the affinity-chromatography step are discussed. 3. A steady-state kinetic analysis varying substrate, oxygen and electron-donor concentrations was performed, which, over the concentration range studied, gave a series of families of approximately parallel double-reciprocal plots. From secondary and tertiary plots, Michaelis constants of 0.160 mM, 0.086 mM and 0.121 mM were obtained for dimethylamine, NADPH and oxygen respectively. 4. Product-inhibition studies supported the postulated Hexa Uni Ping Pong (triple-transfer) reaction mechanism.

A steady-state kinetic analysis of purified soluble methane mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) was performed. The enzyme was found to follow a concerted-substitution mechanism. Methane binds to the enzyme followed by NADH, which reacts to yield reduced enzyme and NAD+. The reduced enzyme-methane complex binds O2 to give a second ternary complex, which breaks down to release water and methanol. In this way the enzyme can control the supply of electrons to the active site to coincide with the arrival of methane. Product-inhibition studies (with propylene as substrate) supported the reaction mechanism proposed. Ki values for NAD+ and propylene oxide are reported. The Km for NADH varied from 25 microM to 300 microM, depending on the nature of the hydrocarbon substrate, and thus supports the proposed reaction sequence. With methane as substrate the Km values for methane, NADH and O2 were shown to be 3 microM, 55.8 microM and 16.8 microM respectively. With propylene as substrate the Km values for propylene, NADH and O2 were 0.94 microM, 25.2 microM and 12.7-15.9 microM respectively. Methane mono-oxygenase was shown to be well adapted to the oxidation of methane compared with other straight-chain alkanes.

Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) catalyses the irreversible oxidation of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine with the concomitant reduction of NAD(P)+ to NADP(H). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa this reaction is a compulsory step in the assimilation of carbon and nitrogen when bacteria are growing in choline or choline precursors. The kinetic mechanisms of the NAD+- and NADP+-dependent reactions were examined by steady-state kinetic methods and by dinucleotide binding experiments. The double-reciprocal patterns obtained for initial velocity with NAD(P)+ and for product and dead-end inhibition establish that both mechanisms are steady-state random. However, quantitative analysis of the inhibitions, and comparison with binding data, suggest a preferred route of addition of substrates and release of products in which NAD(P)+ binds first and NAD(P)H leaves last, particularly in the NADP+-dependent reaction. Abortive binding of the dinucleotides, or their analogue ADP, in the betaine aldehyde site was inferred from total substrate inhibition by the dinucleotides, and parabolic inhibition by NADH and ADP. A weak partial uncompetitive substrate inhibition by the aldehyde was observed only in the NADP+-dependent reaction. The kinetics of P. aeruginosa BADH is very similar to that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, suggesting that both enzymes fulfil a similar amphibolic metabolic role when the bacteria grow in choline and when they grow in glucose.

Abstract Gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in serum is shown to be competitively inhibited by the two substrates gamma-glutamyl-4-nitroanilide and glycylglycine. Awareness of this is of importance when one is choosing final reaction conditions for the assay of the enzyme. Gamma-glutamyltransferase probably acts by a "ping-pong bi-bi" kinetic mechanism, which fits with the double competitive substrate inhibition demonstrated. The product, 4-nitro-aniline, appears to be an uncompetitive dead-end inhibitor of both substrates. Various amino acids, particularly glycine and L-alanine, inhibit the enzyme. Their inhibition patterns are uncompetitive with glycylglycine and competitive with gamma-glutamyl-4-nitroanilide. On the basis of the present and other studies, the Scandinavian Society for Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Physiology is going to recommend for routine use a gamma-glutamyltransferase method in which the final concentrations of gamma-glutamyl-4-nitroanilide and glycylglycine are 4 and 75 mmol/liter, respectively.

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.

Studies on initial velocity and product inhibition were carried out on crystalline cytoplasmic NAD+-linked L-α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle, at pH 7.8 and 9.0 at 26 °C. Michaelis and inhibition constants for all the reactants were determined. The kinetic data were consistent with an ordered mechanism in which nicotinamide–adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) or its reduced form (NADH) is bound to the enzyme before the addition of the glycerophosphate (LαGP) or dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) respectively. At high concentrations NADH, DHAP, and LαGP, but not NAD+, produced substrate inhibition. Combined product-inhibition and dead-end inhibition studies indicated the formation of inactive dead-end complexes of NADH–enzyme, DHAP–enzyme, and LαGP–enzyme–NADH. The low rate constant calculated for the dissociation of the active NADH–enzyme complex suggested an ordered mechanism involving either the formation of an inactive dead-end NADH–enzyme complex or an isomerized NADH–enzyme complex. A choice between these possibilities could not be made on the basis of the present kinetic data. A mechanism for substrate inhibition involving two NAD+-binding sites per mole of enzyme is proposed. Alterations of the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of the enzyme by NAD+ and NADH were in agreement with the conclusion from the kinetic results that the coenzymes are bound to the enzyme before the substrates. DHAP and LαGP caused no alteration in the enzyme spectrum. Spectral changes compatible with the formation of ternary and dead-end complexes were also detected.

Histamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.8) was purified 1100-fold from ox brain. The native enzyme has an Mr of 34800 +/- 2400 as measured by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme is highly specific for histamine. It does not methylate noradrenaline, adrenaline, DL-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxytyramine or imidazole-4-acetic acid. Unlike the enzyme from rat and mouse brain, ox brain histamine N-methyltransferase did not exhibit substrate inhibition by histamine. Initial rate and product inhibition studies were consistent with an ordered steady-state mechanism with S-adenosylmethionine being the first substrate to bind to the enzyme and N-methylhistamine being the first product to dissociate.
