The determination of specificity constants in enzyme-catalysed reactions.
A convenient and accurate procedure for determining the kinetic parameter Vmax./Km is described. This avoids the error in the usual method of taking the observed first-order rate constant of an enzymic reaction at low substrate concentration as Vmax./Km. A series of reactions is used in which the initial concentration of substrate is below Km (e.g. from 5% to 50% of Km). Measurements are taken ...
متن کاملEnzyme catalysed tandem reactions.
To transfer to the laboratory, the excellent efficiency shown by enzymes in Nature, biocatalysis, had to mimic several synthetic strategies used by the living organisms. Biosynthetic pathways are examples of tandem catalysis and may be assimilated in the biocatalysis field for the use of isolated multi-enzyme systems in the homogeneous phase. The concurrent action of several enzymes that work s...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Enzyme-Catalysed Reactions
Since the pH is treated as an independent variable in biochemical thermodynamics, the Gibbs energy G does not provide the criterion for equilibrium, but the transformed Gibbs energy G’ does. The standard transformed Gibbs energy of formation DfG’ of a reactant (sum of species) can be calculated at the desired temperature, pH, and ionic strength if the standard Gibbs energies of formation DfG an...
متن کاملDiffusion fronts in enzyme-catalysed reactions
In this paper the nature and validity of the mathematical formulation of MichaelisMenten type kinetics for enzyme-catalysed biochemical reactions is studied. Previous work has in the main concentrated on isolated, spatially uniform (well-mixed) reactions. We investigate the effects of substrate input and diffusion on this formulation, in particular, on the nature and validity of the quasi-stead...
متن کاملThe determination of the initial velocities of enzyme-catalysed reactions from stopped-assay data [proceedings].
the gradient fractions for L-glutamine y-2-naphthylamide hydrolase activity, i.e. in the absence of glycylglycine, three peaks of activity were again observed. The activities a t densities of 1.24 and 1.15 were only 10% of the transpeptidase activity. However, the peak corresponding to soluble enzyme gave the same activity as that obtained in the presence of acceptor. This indicates that this a...
