[Characteristics of kinetics of the enzymatic oxoglutarate dehydrogenase reaction in a system with 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol].

The 2-oxoglutarate: 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP)--oxidoreductase reaction catalyzed by the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex from bovine adrenal glands corresponds to the kinetic mechanism of a "ping-pong" type. There are signs of positive cooperativity of the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase interaction with the substrate and negative cooperativity of that with the electron acceptor. The half-maximal rate of the model reaction is provided by 0.01 mM concentrations of 2-oxoglutarate and DCPIP. The exceeding of the DCPIP optimum concentration (0.1 mM) results in the enzyme inhibition.

Investigations on the pyruvate decarboxylase catalysed oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids by 2.6-dichlorophenolindophenol.

Pyruvate decarboxylase, a thiamine pyrophosphate and Mg2+ dependent enzyme, catalyzes normally the simple decarboxylation of its substrate. However, in the presence of suitable hydrogen acceptors, such as dichlorophenolindophenol, it catalyzes an artificial reaction, the oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids to the corresponding carboxylic acids. As a result of kinetic studies a mechanism is presented in this paper, which describes the synchronous progress of both the oxidative ping-pong-type decarboxylation reaction and the physiological non-oxidative decarboxylation reaction. Moreover, experiments using phenylglyoxylic acids that carry suitable substituents in the 4-position have shown that the electronic influence of the substituents (causing a decrease in the rate constants with increasing electron pressure) is in quantitative agreement for both types of reactions. A common rate limiting transition state preceding the alpha-carbanion intermediate of the enzymic reaction (2-(1-hydroxybenzyl)-thiamine pyrophosphate carbanion) must therefore be assumed for both reactions. Acetaldehyde which acts as noncompetitive inhibitor in the normal enzyme mechanism does not influence the oxidative decarboxylation reaction. 4'-hydroxy-4'-deamino-thiamine pyrophosphate is inactive as coenzyme for both types of enzyme reactions. This confirms again the essential role of the 4'-amino group in the cofactor function.

Ascorbate in plasma as measured by liquid chromatography and by dichlorophenolindophenol colorimetry.

Ascorbic acid was measured in 125 plasma samples by an automated colorimetric method involving dichlorophenolindophenol and by a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic procedure with electrochemical detection. The two methods gave comparable results for samples with ascorbate concentrations of 1 to 20 mg/L (r = 0.97). We also measured the amount of total ascorbate (ascorbic acid + dehydroascorbic acid) in the same samples by a liquid-chromatographic procedure with precolumn derivitization of ascorbic acid. We confirmed that plasma contains little dehydroascorbic acid.

Acetylcholinesterase: inhibition by tetranitromethane and arsenite. Binding of arsenite by tyrosine residues.

Tetranitromethane inhibits acetylcholinesterase with respect to the hydrolysis of both acetylthiocholine and indophenyl acetate. The loss of activity with indophenyl acetate, a poor substrate, is preceded by an increase in enzyme activity. Only 12 of the 21 tyrosine residues/monomer of enzyme are susceptible to nitration. Loss of activity with respect to indophenyl acetate occurs well after no further nitration of tyrosines occurs and must be due to the modification of other residues. Incubation of the enzyme with arsenite before nitration results in the nitration of only 10 tyrosines. This experiment reveals that the structural basis for the binding of arsenite is the formation of a diester with two tyrosine residues.
