The kinetics and reaction mechanism of the nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-specific glycerol dehydrogenase of rat skeletal muscle.

The NADP-specific glycerol dehydrogenase of rat skeletal muscle has been partially purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation. The enzyme has been studied kinetically by initial-velocity analysis, product inhibition and inhibition by fluoride. The experimental results indicate that the reaction mechanism for the enzyme is ordered such that the first product leaves the enzyme before the addition of the second substrate.

Kinetic studies with skeletal-muscle hexokinase.

Rat skeletal-muscle hexokinase was partially purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation and gel filtration. The mechanism of the skeletal-muscle hexokinase was studied kinetically by initial-velocity analysis and product inhibition. Glucose 6-phosphate was a non-competitive inhibitor of glucose and ATP. ADP was a non-competitive inhibitor of glucose and a competitive inhibitor of ATP. The data on product inhibition and initial-velocity analysis of skeletal-muscle hexokinase support an ordered sequential mechanism (ordered Bi Bi) where the addition of substrates and release of products is in the order: ATP, glucose, glucose 6-phosphate and ADP.
