Abstract: | Lipoxygenase binds to Teflon or epoxy coated surfaces, presumably through a hydrophobic interaction. The kinetics of bound enzyme differ from the kinetics of free enzyme both in the effect of substrate concentration on velocity and in the dependence of the induction time on substrate concentration. The binding site for the product hydroperoxide appears to be masked when the enzyme is bound to hydrophobic surfaces. In vivo kinetic behavior of the enzyme may be more closely approximated by that of adsorbed enzyme than by free enzyme. |
