Abstract

This paper presents a computer program written in BASIC for fitting different enzyme inhibition kinetic models. The program, based on a nonlinear least-squares regression, can be run on any microcomputer with the CP/M operating system. Weighting of observed initial velocities is decided by the user by assessing constant variance, proportional variance or by incorporation of the variances calculated by a subroutine. The program also uses robust regression by bisquare weighting. All questions concerning data input, type of rate function, type of weight and the use of bisquare regression appear on the video display unit.

Slow-binding inhibition of soybean lipoxygenase-1 by dodecyl gallate.

Dodecyl gallate inhibited the soybean lipoxygenase-1 (EC 1.13.11.12, type-1) catalyzed peroxidation of linoleic acid with an IC50 of 0.007 microM without being oxidized. The progress curves for enzyme reactions were recorded by both spectrophotometric and polarographic methods, and the inhibition kinetics revealed competitive and slow-binding inhibition. Both the initial velocity and steady-state rate in the progress curve decreased with increasing dodecyl gallate. The kinetic parameters that described the inhibition by dodecyl gallate were evaluated by nonlinear regression fits.

Modeling zinc enzyme inhibition with functional thiolate ligands.

The blocking of zinc enzymes by thiolate-containing inhibitors was modeled by treating TpPh,MeZn-OH with functional thiols. The latter were chosen such that they contain an additional donor function (COOH, COOR, NH2, NHR, OH) in a position favorable for chelation. Of them, mercapto carboxylic acid esters were incorporated as thiolates. The corresponding mercapto carboxylic acids, however, used only their carboxylate function for coordination. Various mercapto amines, mercapto alcohols, and mercaptophenol were exclusively converted to thiolate ligands. The two modes of inhibitor attachment, terminal or chelating, were observed equally frequently. As a rule, they occur as alternatives for similar ligands. In case of 2-mercaptophenol they coexist in the crystalline state and in solution. Hydrogen bonding, both intra- and intermolecular, seems to be a decisive factor determining the inhibitor attachments. Its persistence in solution is underlined by the observation that TpPh,MeZn-hydroxythiophenolates are methylated about 2 orders of magnitude slower than TpPh,MeZn-SPh itself.
