چکیده
The pH profiles of the apparent biomolecular rate constants for the reaction f free EO with [2-'H]and [22H]phenylalanine (evaluated as (kr)H and (kr)H*, respectively, from rapid kinetic measurements and as the equivalent steady state coefficients ( & l ) ~ and (+I-')"*) show that k , = k', k2 >> k-' << k2* and that the ionization controlled by K', (= kL,/k,) is at virtual equilibrium. The expression for (kr)H is, therefore,

Nitroalkanes as reductive substrates for flavoprotein oxidases.
Nitroalkanes have been found to be general reductive substrates for D-amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase and L-amino acid oxidase. These enzymes show different specificities for the structure of the nitroalkane substrate. The stoichiometry of the D-amino acid oxidase reaction is straightforward, consisting of the production of one mole each of aldehyde, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide for each m...
متن کاملNucleophilic addition reactions of free and enzyme-bound deazaflavin.
DeazaFMN-containing glycolate oxidase has been prepared and shown to catalyze the stereospecific transfer of the alpha-hydrogen from substrate to enzyme-bound deazaFMN. The reaction of sulfite, cyanide, and hydroxylamine with several deazaflavin-containing enzymes (glycolate oxidase, D-amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase, N-methylglutamate synthetase) and free deazaFMN has been examined. All th...
متن کاملpH and kinetic isotope effects in d-amino acid oxidase catalysis.
The effects of pH, solvent isotope, and primary isotope replacement on substrate dehydrogenation by Rhodotorula gracilis d-amino acid oxidase were investigated. The rate constant for enzyme-FAD reduction by d-alanine increases approximately fourfold with pH, reflecting apparent pKa values of approximately 6 and approximately 8, and reaches plateaus at high and low pH. Such profiles are observed...
متن کاملProton release during the reductive half-reaction of D-amino acid oxidase.
Changes in the net protonation of D-amino acid oxidase during binding of competitive inhibitors and during reduction by amino acids have been monitored using phenol red as a pH indicator. At pH 8.0, no uptake or release of protons from solution occurs upon binding the inhibitors benzoate, anthranilate, picolinate, or L-leucine. The Kd values for both picolinate and anthranilate were determined ...
متن کاملOxidation-reduction potentials of D-amino acid oxidase.
This paper reports a study of the oxidation-reduction equilibrium of o-amino acid oxidase, a flavoprotein con. taining FAD. The oxidation-reduction potential at 50% oxidation (E;) is -0.004 volt at pH 7.0 and 20”, and therefore about 180 mv higher than that of the free coenzyme (FAD). This difference in oxidation-reduction potential may be described in terms of relative affiity of the apoenzyme...
