Abstract: | The use of the steady-state treatment in the study of rapid kinetics was illustrated with experiments on horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase using a stopped-flow spectrophoto-fluorimeter. The amplitude of the “burst” formation of NADH fluorescence observed in the transient reaction of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, NAD+, and ethanol corresponded mainly to the steady-state concentration of the binary complex, horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase-NADH. The results on the forward and reverse reactions are shown to be consistent with a Theorell-Chance mechanism. The formation of the ternary complexes appeared to decrease the “burst” formation of the binary complex in the benzylalcoholbenzaldehyde system. There was no evidence for the participation of nonequivalent states of the two active sites in the enzyme molecule. It is shown that the equilibrium constants and rate constants involving the mechanisms of LADH reactions can be evaluated using the data of the amplitude of the “burst” reaction in similar manner to that of usual steady-state kinetics. |
