Bismuth compounds have been widely used for the treatment of ulcers and Helicobacter pylori infection, and enzyme inhibition was thought to be crucial for bismuth anti-microbial activity. We have investigated the interaction of colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS) with alcohol dehydrogenase and our results demonstrate that bismuth can effectively inhibit the enzyme. Kinetic analysis revealed that CBS acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase. Both UV-vis and fluorescence ...[more]
