Abstract: | Initial rate, product inhibition, and isotope rate kinetic studies of pig heart mitochondrial and supernatant malate dehydrogenases, acting upon the nonphysiological substrates, meso-tartrate and 2-keto-3-hydroxysuccinate, are reported. The measured spontaneous keto-enol equilibrium for 2-keto-3-hydroxysuccinate in 0.05 m Tris-acetate (pH 8.0) at 25 °C favors the enol form, dihydroxyfumarate, with an apparent equilibrium constant of 0.036. The enzyme-catalyzed reaction favors meso-tartrate with an apparent equilibrium constant of 1.25 × 10?6, M?1 at pH 8.0. The mechanism apparently remains ordered bi bi for both enzymes when these nonphysiological substrates are used, and the chemical-converting hydride transfer step becomes more rate limiting for both enzymes. This conclusion is supported by and values of 2.6 and 3.1, respectively, for the mitochondrial enzyme and 1.9 and 2.9, respectively, for the supernatant enzyme. |
