Enzyme Kinetics of Organic Contaminant Oxygenations

The Kinetics of Enzyme Mixtures

Even purified enzyme preparations are often heterogeneous. For example, preparations of aspartate aminotransferase or cytochrome oxidase can consist of several different forms of the enzyme.  For this reason we consider how different the kinetics of the reactions catalysed by a mixture of forms of an enzyme must be to provide some indication of the characteristics of the species present.  Based...

kinetics studies of peroxidase enzyme in the presence of organic solvents ethanol and butanediol

abstract peroxidases are a group of oxidoreductases that are produced by a number of microorganisms and plants, and catalyse the reduction of peroxides. peroxidases are widely used in clinical biochemistry and enzyme immunoassay. horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme c (hrp) is one of the characterized peroxidases. the structure of the enzyme is largely alpha helical. kinetics studies of peroxidase ...

Implications of enzyme kinetics.

Of the many examples of oscillatory kinetic behaviour known, several are briefly reviewed, including those of glycolysis, the peroxidase-oxidase reaction and oscillations in cellular calcium concentration. It is shown that simple mathematical models employing allosteric rate laws are sufficient to explain the instability of the steady state and the appearance of sustained oscillations. The cAMP...
