Equilibrium constants of the reactions of choline acetyltransferase, carnitine acetyltransferase, and acetylcholinesterase under physiological conditions.
The observed equilibrium constant (Kobs) for the reaction of choline acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) has been determined under physiological conditions. Using sigma and square brackets to indicate total concentrations of all ionic species present: (see article). The value of Kobs has been determined to be 12.3 plus or minus 0.6 at 38 degrees, pH 7.0 and ionic strength 0.25 M. The value at 25 deg...
متن کاملBifurcation Analysis of a Coupled Acetylcholinesterase/Choline Acetyltransferase Enzymes Neurocycle
A diffusion-reaction, two-compartment model was used to explore the bifurcation and chaotic behavior of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholineacetyltransferase (ChAT) coupled enzymes system. The effects of hydrogen ion feed concentrations, choline (Ch) and acetylcholine (ACh) feed concentrations, as bifurcation parameters on the system performance are studied. It is found that hydrogen ions pl...
متن کاملCholine acetyltransferase and acetylcholinesterase: evidence for essential histidine residues.
ABSTKACT: Choline acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) catalyzes the biosynthesis of acetylcholine according to the following chemical equation: acetyl coenzyme A + choline + acetylcholine + coenzyme A. Ethoxyformic anhydride inactivates the enzyme prepared from bovine brain. Acetyl coenzyme A and coenzyme A, but not choline or acetylcholine, substantially protect against inactivation. The enzyme is ...
متن کاملEquilibrium constants under physiological conditions for the reactions of choline kinase and the hydrolysis of phosphorylcholine to choline and inorganic phosphate.
The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) of the P-choline hydrolysis reaction have been determined under physiological conditions of temperature (38 degrees) and ionic strength (0.25 M) and physiological ranges of pH and free [Mg2+]. Using sigma and square brackets to indicate total concentrations: (see article.) The value of Kobs has been found to be relatively insensitive to variations in pH...
متن کاملThe substrate specificity of carnitine acetyltransferase.
1. A study of the acyl group specificity of the carnitine acetyltransferase reaction [acyl-(-)carnitine+CoASH right harpoon over left harpoon (-)-carnitine+acyl-CoA] has been made with the enzyme from pigeon breast muscle. Acyl groups containing up to 10 carbon atoms are transferred and detailed kinetic investigations with a range of acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine substrates are reported. 2. Acyl-C...
