Kinetic parameters of the selenium-containing, formate dehydrogenase component of the Escherichia coli formate-hydrogenlyase complex have been determined with purified enzyme. A ping-pong Bi Bi kinetic mechanism was observed. The Km for formate is 26 mM, and the Km for the electron-accepting dye, benzyl viologen, is in the range 1-5 mM. The maximal turnover rate for the formate-dependent catalysis of benzyl viologen reduction was calculated to be 1.7 x 10(5) min-1. Isotope exchange analysis showed that the enzyme catalyzes carbon exchange between carbon dioxide and formate in the absence of other electron acceptors, confirming the ping-pong reaction mechanism. Dissociation constants for formate (12.2 mM) and CO2 (8.3 mM) were derived from analysis of the isotope exchange data. The enzyme catalyzes oxidation of the alternative substrate deuterioformate with little change in the Vmax, but the Km for deuterioformate is approximately three times that of protioformate. This implies formate oxidation is not rate-limiting in the overall coupled reaction of formate oxidation and benzyl viologen reduction. The deuterium isotope effect on Vmax/Km was observed to be approximately 4.2-4.5. Sodium nitrate was found to inhibit enzyme activity in a competitive manner with respect to formate, with a Ki of 7.1 mM. Sodium azide is a noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of about 80 microM. 相似文献

The kinetic properties of highly purified human placental cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase were investigated. Initial velocity studies gave Michaelis constants for AMP, IMP, and CMP of 18, 30, and 2.2 microM, respectively. The enzyme shows the following relative Vmax values: CMP greater than UMP greater than dUMP greater than GMP greater than AMP greater than dCMP greater than IMP. The activity was magnesium-dependent, and this cation binds sequentially with a Km of 14 microM for AMP and an apparent Km of 6 mM for magnesium. A large variety of purine, pyrimidine, and pyridine compounds exert an inhibitory effect on enzyme activity. IMP, GMP, and NADH produce almost 100% inhibition at 1.0 mM. Nucleoside di- and triphosphates are potent inhibitors. ATP and ADP are competitive inhibitors with respect to AMP and IMP as substrates with Ki values of 100 and 15 microM, respectively. Inorganic phosphate is a noncompetitive inhibitor with Ki values of 19 and 43 mM. Nucleosides and other compounds studied produce only a modest decrease of enzyme activity at 1 mM. Our findings suggest that the enzyme is regulated under physiological conditions by the concentrations of magnesium, nucleoside 5'-monophosphates, and nucleoside di- and triphosphates. The nucleotide pool concentration regulates the enzyme possibly by a mechanism of heterogeneous metabolic pool inhibition. These properties of human placental cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase may be related to the control of nucleotide degradation in vivo. 相似文献

The arginine-specific reagents 2,3-butanedione and phenylglyoxal inactivate pig kidney alkaline phosphatase. As inactivation proceeds there is a progressive fall in Vmax. of the enzyme, but no demonstrable change in the Km value for substrate. Pi, a competitive inhibitor, and AMP, a substrate of the enzyme, protect alkaline phosphatase against the arginine-specific reagents. These effects are explicable by the assumption that the enzyme contains an essential arginine residue at the active site. Protection is also afforded by the uncompetitive inhibitor NADH through a partially competive action against the reagents. Enzyme that has been exposed to the reagents has a decreased sensitivity to NADH inhibition. It is suggested that an arginine residue is important for NADH binding also, although this residue is distinct from that at the catalytic site. The protection given by NADH against loss of activity is indicative of the close proximity of the active and NADH sites. 相似文献

A comparison of the citrate synthases of Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter anitratum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Citrate synthase has been purified to homogeneity from a strain of the Gram-negative aerobic bacterium Acinetobacter anitratum in a form which retains its sensitivity to the allosteric inhibitor NADH. In subunit size, amino acid composition, and antigenic reactivity the enzyme shows a marked structural resemblance to the citrate synthase of the Gram-negative facultative anaerobe Escherichia coli. Whereas the E. coli enzyme is subject to a strong, hyperbolic inhibition by NADH (Hill's number n = 1.0, Ki = 2 microM), the A. anitratum enzyme shows a weak, sigmoid response (n = 1.6, I0.5 = 140 microM) to this nucleotide. With E. coli, NADH inhibition is competitive with acetyl-CoA, and noncompetitive with oxaloacetate; with A. anitratum, NADH is noncompetitive with both substrates. Acinetobacter anitratum citrate synthase shows hyperbolic saturation with acetyl-CoA (n = 1.8). The finding of Weitzman and Jones (Nature (London) 219, 270 (1968) that NADH inhibition of the enzyme from Acinetobacter spp. is reversible by AMP, while that from E. coli is not, is explained by the much greater affinity of the E. coli enzyme for NADH. Unlike E. coli citrate synthase, the A. anitratum enzyme does not react with the sulfhydryl reagent 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in the absence of denaturation. With a second sulfhydryl reagent, 4,4'-dithiodipyridine (4,4'-PDS), the A. anitratum enzyme reacts with 1 equiv. of subunit; this modification induces a partial activity loss (attributable to a arise in the Km for acetyl-CoA) and an increase in the sensitivity to NADH. With the E. coli enzyme, 4,4'-PDS causes complete inactivation. Acinetobacter anitratum citrate synthase is much more resistant to urea denaturation than the E. coli enzyme is; the resistance of both enzymes to urea is greatly improved in the presence of 1 M KCl. It is suggested that the amino acid sequences of the subunits of the citrate synthases of these two bacteria are about 90% homologous, and that the 10% differences are in key residues, perhaps largely in the subunit contact regions, which account for the differences in allosteric properties. 相似文献

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two membrane-associated enzymes catalyze the three-step methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylcholine (PC). Phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) catalyzes the first methylation reactions (PE----phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PMME] and phospholipid methyltransferase (PLMT) catalyzes the second two methylation reactions (PMME----phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (PDME)----PC). Using gene disruption mutants of the S. cerevisiae OP13 and CHO2 genes, we independently studied the enzymological properties of microsome-associated PEMT and PLMT, respectively. The enzymological properties of the enzymes differed with respect to their pH optima, cofactor requirements and thermal lability. For the PEMT reactions, the apparent Km values for PE and S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) were 57 microM and 110 microM, respectively. For the PLMT reactions, the apparent Km values for PMME and PDME were 380 microM and 180 microM, respectively. The apparent Km values for AdoMet were 54 microM and 59 microM with PMME and PDME as substrates, respectively. S-Adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) was a competitive inhibitor of PEMT (Ki = 12 microM) and PLMT (Ki = 57 microM and Ki = 54 microM for PMME and PDME, respectively) with respect to AdoMet. AdoHcy was a noncompetitive inhibitor of PEMT (Ki = 160 microM) and PLMT (Ki = 120 microM) with respect to PE and PMME and PDME, respectively. 相似文献

The transport kinetics of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), taurine, and beta-alanine in addition to the mutual inhibition patterns of these compounds were investigated in cultures of neurons and astrocytes derived from mouse cerebral cortex. A high-affinity uptake system for each amino acid was demonstrated both in neurons (Km GABA = 24.9 +/- 1.7 microM; Km Tau = 20.0 +/- 3.3 microM; Km beta-Ala = 73.0 +/- 3.6 microM) and astrocytes (Km GABA = 31.4 +/- 2.9 microM, Km Tau = 24.7 +/- 1.3 microM; Km beta-Ala = 70.8 +/- 3.6 microM). The maximal uptake rates (Vmax) determined were such that, in neurons, Vmax GABA greater than Vmax beta-Ala = Vmax Tau, whereas in astrocytes, Vmax beta-Ala greater than Vmax Tau = Vmax GABA. Taurine was found to inhibit beta-alanine uptake into neurons and astrocytes in a competitive manner, with Ki values of 217 microM in neurons and 24 microM in astrocytes. beta-Alanine was shown to inhibit taurine uptake in neurons and astrocytes, also in a competitive manner, with Ki values of 72 microM in neurons and 71 microM in astrocytes. However, beta-alanine was found to be a weak noncompetitive inhibitor of neuronal and astrocytic GABA uptake, whereas in reverse experiments, GABA displayed weak noncompetitive inhibition of neuronal and astrocytic uptake of beta-alanine. Likewise, taurine was a weak noncompetitive inhibitor of GABA uptake in neurons and similarly, GABA was a weak noncompetitive inhibitor of taurine uptake into neurons.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Gossypol, a polyphenolic binaphthalene dialdehyde isolated from cotton meal is a potent inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase-X purified from bovine testis. For the conversion of pyruvate to lactate the IC50 for gossypol is 200 microM for the reverse reaction the IC50 is 12 microM. Gossypol is a competitive inhibitor of NADH, Ki = 30 microM (Km = 17 microM), and NAD+, Ki = 6 microM (Km = 130 microM), and noncompetitive for pyruvate, Ki = 220 microM (Km = 224 microM), and lactate, Ki = 52 microM (Km = 5.6 mM). 相似文献

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) has been investigated as a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of CO oxidation by the CO dehydrogenase purified from Rhodospirillum rubrum. The kinetic evidence suggests that the inhibition by COS is largely competitive versus CO (Ki = 2.3 microM) and uncompetitive versus methylviologen as electron acceptor (Ki = 15.8 microM). The data are compatible with a ping-pong mechanism for CO oxidation and COS inhibition. Unlike the substrate CO, COS does not reduce the iron-sulfur centers of dye-oxidized CO dehydrogenase and thus is not an alternative substrate for the enzyme. However, like CO, COS is capable of protecting CO dehydrogenase from slow-binding inhibition by cyanide. A true binding constant (KD) of 2.2 microM for COS has been derived on the basis of the saturable nature of COS protection against cyanide inhibition. The ability of CO, CO2, COS, and related CO/CO2 analogues to reverse cyanide inhibition of CO dehydrogenase is also demonstrated. The kinetic results are interpreted in terms of two binding sites for CO on CO dehydrogenase from R. rubrum. 相似文献

Methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclodehydrase (cyclo-ligase) (ADP-forming) EC 6.3.3.2) catalyzes the ATP- and Mg2+-dependent transformation of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (leucovorin) to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. The enzyme has been purified 49,000-fold from human liver by a two-column procedure with Blue Sepharose followed by folinate-Sepharose chromatography. It appears as a single band both on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Mr 27,000) and on isoelectric focusing (pI = 7.0) and is monomeric, with a molecular weight of 27,000 on gel filtration. Initial-velocity studies suggest that the enzyme catalyzes a sequential mechanism and at 30 degrees C and pH 6.0 the turnover number is 1000 min-1. The enzyme has a higher affinity for its pentaglutamate substrate (Km = 0.6 microM) than for the monoglutamate (Km = 2 microM). The antifolate methotrexate has no inhibitory effect at concentrations up to 350 microM, while methotrexate pentaglutamate is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki = 15 microM. Similarly, dihydrofolate monoglutamate is a weak inhibitor with a Ki = 50 microM, while the pentaglutamate is a potent competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 3.8 microM. Thus, dihydrofolate and methotrexate pentaglutamates could regulate enzyme activity and help explain why leucovorin fails to rescue cells from high concentrations of methotrexate. 相似文献

1. Pig heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is inactivated by phosphorylation (MgATP2-) of an alpha-chain of the decarboxylase component. Three serine residues may be phosphorylated, one of which (site 1) is the major inactivating site. 2. The relative rates of phosphorylation are site 1 greater than 2 greater than site 3. 3. The kinetics of the inactivating phosphorylation were investigated by measuring inactivation of the complex with MgATP2-. The apparent Km for the Mg complex of ATP was 25.5 microM; ADP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki 69.8 microM) and sodium pyruvate an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki 2.8 microM). Inactivation was accelerated by increasing concentration ratios of NADH/NAD+ and of acetyl-CoA/CoA. 4. The kinetics of additional phosphorylations (predominantly site 2 under these conditions) were investigated by measurement of 32P incorporation into non-radioactive pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphate containing 3-6% of active complex, and assumed from parrallel experiments with 32P labelling to contain 91% of protein-bound phosphate in site 1 and 9% in site 2. 5. The apparent Km for the Mg complex of ATP was 10.1 microM; ADP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki 31.5 microM) and sodium pyruvate an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki 1.1 mM). 6. Incorporation was accelerated by increasing concentration ratios of NADH/NAD+ and of acetyl-CoA/CoA, although it was less marked at the highest ratios. 相似文献

Ketopantoyl-lactone reductase from Candida parapsilosis: purification and characterization as a conjugated polyketone reductase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ketopantoyl-lactone reductase (2-dehydropantoyl-lactone reductase, EC 1.1.1.168) was purified and crystallized from cells of Candida parapsilosis IFO 0708. The enzyme was found to be homogeneous on ultracentrifugation, high-performance gel-permeation liquid chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The relative molecular mass of the native and SDS-treated enzyme is approximately 40,000. The isoelectric point of the enzyme is 6.3. The enzyme was found to catalyze specifically the reduction of a variety of natural and unnatural polyketones and quinones other than ketopantoyl lactone in the presence of NADPH. Isatin and 5-methylisatin are rapidly reduced by the enzyme, the Km and Vmax values for isatin being 14 microM and 306 mumol/min per mg protein, respectively. Ketopantoyl lactone is also a good substrate (Km = 333 microM and Vmax = 481 mumol/min per mg protein). Reverse reaction was not detected with pantoyl lactone and NADP+. The enzyme is inhibited by quercetin, several polyketones and SH-reagents. 3,4-Dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione, cyclohexenediol-1,2,3,4-tetraone and parabanic acid are uncompetitive inhibitors for the enzyme, the Ki values being 1.4, 0.2 and 3140 microM, respectively, with isatin as substrate. Comparison of the enzyme with the conjugated polyketone reductase of Mucor ambiguus (S. Shimizu, H. Hattori, H. Hata and H. Yamada (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 174, 37-44) and ketopantoyl-lactone reductase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggested that ketopantoyl-lactone reductase is a kind of conjugated polyketone reductase. 相似文献

Acyl-CoA:lysolecithin acyltransferase is a key enzyme in the deacylation-reacylation pathway of biosynthesis of molecular species of lecithin. However, the mechanism of the reaction has been little studied. In this paper, the kinetic mechanism of acyl-CoA:lysolecithin acyltransferase, partially purified from rabbit lung, is studied. The double-reciprocal plots of initial velocity vs substrate concentration gave two sets of parallel lines which fitted to a ping-pong equation with the following parameters: Km (palmitoyl-CoA) = 8.5 +/- 2 microM, Km (lysolecithin) = 61 +/- 16 microM, and V = 18 +/- 4 nmol/min/mg protein. Inhibition studies by substrates, alternate substrates, and products supported the ping-pong mechanism, although some nonclassical behavior was observed. Palmitoyl-CoA did not inhibit even at concentrations of 100 Km. In contrast, lysolecithin was a dead-end inhibitor with a dissociation constant of Ki = 930 +/- 40 microM. Alternate substrates and CoA showed alternate pathways for the reaction due to the formation of ternary complexes. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine inhibition pointed to an isomerization of the free enzyme prior to the start of the reaction. From these results, an iso-ping-pong kinetic mechanism for lysolecithin acyltransferase is proposed. The kinetic steps of the reaction are correlated with previous chemical studies of the enzyme. 相似文献

Four cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities were separated from low-speed supernatants of homogenates of human cardiac ventricle by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, and designated PDE I-PDE IV in order of elution with an increasing salt gradient. PDE I was a Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated activity, and PDE II was an activity with a high Km for cyclic AMP which was stimulated by low concentrations of cyclic GMP. Human ventricle PDE III had Km values of 0.14 microM (cyclic AMP) and 4 microM (cyclic GMP), and showed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics with both substrates. PDE IV is a previously unrecognized activity in cardiac muscle, the human enzyme having Km values of 2 microM (cyclic AMP) and 50 microM (cyclic GMP). PDE III and PDE IV were not activated by cyclic nucleotides or calmodulin. Four PDE activities were also isolated from guinea-pig ventricle, and had very similar kinetic properties. By gel filtration, the Mr of PDE III was 60,000, and that of PDE IV 45,000. The drug SK&F 94120 selectively and competitively inhibited PDE III with a Ki value of 0.8 microM (human), showing simple hyperbolic inhibition kinetics. Rolipram (Schering ZK 62711) and Ro 20-1724 (Roche), which have previously been reported to inhibit PDE III-like activities strongly, were shown to be weak inhibitors of human and guinea-pig PDE III enzymes (Ki values greater than 25 microM), but potent inhibitors of PDE IV [Ki values 2.4 microM (Rolipram) and 3.1 microM (Ro 20-1724) with human PDE IV]. The inhibition in all cases demonstrated simple hyperbolic competition. These observations suggest that the previously reported complex inhibition of PDE III-type activities from cardiac muscle was caused by incomplete separation of the PDE III from other enzymes, particularly PDE IV. 相似文献

The hormone-stimulated 'dense-vesicle' cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was solubilized as a proteolytically 'clipped' species, and purified to apparent homogeneity from rat liver with a 2000-3000-fold purification and a 13-18% yield. It appeared to be a dimer (Mr 112,000), of two Mr-57,000 subunits. Solubilization of either a liver or a hepatocyte membrane fraction, with sodium cholate in the presence of the protein inhibitor benzamidine, identified three protein bands which could be immunoprecipitated by a polyclonal antibody raised against the pure enzyme. The major band at Mr 62,000 is suggested to be the native 'dense-vesicle' enzyme, having a Mr-5000 extension which serves to anchor this enzyme to the membrane and which is cleaved off during proteolytic solubilization; the Mr-200,000 band is an aggregate of the Mr-62,000 species, and the Mr-63,000 species is possibly a precursor. The purified 'clipped' enzyme hydrolysed cyclic AMP with kinetics indicative of apparent negative co-operativity, with a Hill coefficient (h) of 0.43 and limiting kinetic constants of Km1 = 0.3 +/- 0.05 microM, Km2 = 29 +/- 6 microM, Vmax.1 = 0.114 +/- 0.015 unit/mg of protein and Vmax.2 = 0.633 +/- 0.054 unit/mg of protein. It hydrolysed cyclic GMP with Michaelis kinetics, Km = 10 +/- 1 microM and Vmax. = 4.1 +/- 0.2 units/mg of protein. Cyclic GMP was a potent inhibitor of cyclic AMP hydrolysis, with an IC50 (concn. giving 50% inhibition) of 0.20 +/- 0.01 microM-cyclic GMP when assayed at 0.1 microM-cyclic AMP. This enzyme was inhibited potently by several drugs known to exert positive inotropic effects on the heart, was extremely thermolabile, with a half-life of 4.5 +/- 0.5 min at 40 degrees C, and was shown to be distinct from the rat liver insulin-stimulated peripheral-plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase [Marchmont, Ayad & Houslay (1981) Biochem. J. 195, 645-652]. 相似文献

A permeabilization procedure was adapted to allow the in situ determination of aspartate transcarbamylase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Permeabilization is obtained by treating cell suspensions with small amounts of 10% toluene in absolute ethanol. After washing, the cells can be used directly in the enzyme assays. Kinetic studies of aspartate transcarbamylase (EC 2.1.3.2) in such permeabilized cells showed that apparent Km for substrates and Ki for the feedback inhibitor UTP were only slightly different from those reported using partially purified enzyme. The aspartate saturation curve is hyperbolic both in the presence and absence of UTP. The inhibition by this nucleotide is noncompetitive with respect to aspartate, decreasing both the affinity for this substrate and the maximal velocity of the reaction. The saturation curves for both substrates give parallel double reciprocal plots. The inhibition by the products is linear noncompetitive. Succinate, an aspartate analog, provokes competitive and uncompetitive inhibitions toward aspartate and carbamyl phosphate, respectively. The inhibition by phosphonacetate, a carbamyl phosphate analog, is uncompetitive and noncompetitive toward carbamyl phosphate and aspartate, respectively, but pyrophosphate inhibition is competitive toward carbamyl phosphate and noncompetitive toward aspartate. These results, as well as the effect of the transition state analog N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate, all exclude a random mechanism for aspartate transcarbamylase. Most of the data suggest an ordered mechanism except the substrates saturation curves, which are indicative of a ping-pong mechanism. Such a discrepancy might be related to some channeling of carbamyl phosphate between carbamyl phosphate synthetase and aspartate transcarbamylase catalytic sites. 相似文献

A low-Km cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase solubilised from rat liver membranes by mild proteolysis with chymotrypsin has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The purification included chromatography on cellulose phosphate, Ecteola-cellulose, hydroxyapatite, a theophylline affinity matrix and HPLC on a DEAE-substituted column. The purified enzyme has linear kinetic plots with a Km of 0.24 microM and a Vmax of 6.2 mumol mg-1 min-1 with cyclic AMP as a substrate. It also hydrolyses cyclic GMP with a Km of 0.17 microM and a Vmax which is about a third of that with cyclic AMP. Cyclic GMP is also a competitive inhibitor of cyclic AMP hydrolysis with a Ki of 0.18 microM. The proteolytically solubilised enzyme has a subunit molecular mass of 73 kDa by SDS gel electrophoresis and of 130 kDa by HPLC size-exclusion chromatography, suggesting that it exists as a dimer. A partially purified preparation of this enzyme was used to raise antiserum in a sheep. The antiserum immunoprecipitated activity from liver and adipose tissue of rat and mouse. It had little activity against phosphodiesterase from other rat tissues or other species. Insulin-activated phosphodiesterase from both adipocytes and hepatocytes was immunoprecipitated by the antiserum suggesting that the purified enzyme was an insulin-sensitive phosphodiesterase. 相似文献

Three mercury-resistant marine Caulobacter strains showed an inducible mercury volatilization activity. Cell-free mercury volatilization (mercuric reductase) from these three marine Caulobacter strains was characterized and compared with enzyme activities determined by plasmids of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The temperature sensitivity of the Caulobacter mercuric reductase was greater than that of mercuric reductase from other gram-negative sources. Cell-free enzyme activity required NADH or NADPH, with NADPH functioning much better at lower concentrations than NADH. The Km for the Caulobacter enzyme was 4 microM Hg2+. Ag+ was a competitive inhibitor of Caulobacter mercuric reductase (Ki = 0.2 microM Ag+), as with previously studied enzymes. Arsenite was a noncompetitive inhibitor of the Caulobacter enzyme with a Ki of 75 microM AsO2-. 相似文献

Kinetic characterization of the pyruvate and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes from human heart 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Michaelis constant values for the highly purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) from human heart are 25, 13 and 50 microM for pyruvate, CoA and NAD, respectively. Acetyl-CoA produces a competitive inhibition of PDC (Ki = 35 microM) with respect to CoA, whereas NADH produces the same type of inhibition with respect to NAD (Ki = 36 microM). The oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDC) from human heart has active sites with two different affinities for 2-oxoglutarate ([S]0.5 of 30 and 120 microM). ADP (1 mM) decreases the [S]0.5 values by a half. The inhibition of OGDC (Ki = 81 microM) by succinyl-CoA is of a competitive type with respect to CoA (Km = 2.5 microM), whereas that of NADH (Ki = 25 microM) is of a mixed type with respect to NAD (Km = 170 microM). 相似文献
