Abstract: | The binding of NADH to bull semen NAD nucleosidase was observed to be accompanied by a considerable enhancement of the fluorescence of NADH. The fluorescence enhancement observed in the binding of NADH to the enzyme was utilized to study the stoichiometry of binding of this compound to the enzyme. Results obtained from the fluorescence titration of the enzyme with NADH indicated the binding of one mole of NADH per mole of enzyme (36,000 g). The dissociation constant for the enzyme-NADH complex was determined to be 2.52 × 10?6m. NADH was also found to be a very effective competitive inhibitor of the NADase-catalyzed hydrolysis of NAD, and the inhibitor dissociation constant (KI) for the enzyme-NADH complex was determined to be 2.99 × 10?6m which was in good agreement with the value obtained from the fluorescence titration experiments. |
