Project description:The present communication describes a novel method for estimating initial velocities (v) of enzyme-catalysed reactions. It is based on an approximation of experimental data obtained by the cubic spline function. The initial velocity of a reaction is calculated as a derivative of the approximating function at a time value equal to zero. The proposed method is usable on a computer with a FORTRAN IV program. The method can be successfully used in such cases as substantial extents of substrate conversion, the inactivation of an enzyme in the course of a reaction, the existence of large experimental error or when the reaction mechanism is unknown.

Project description:The use of two substrates, one of them a reporter substrate, is often convenient. The time course of an enzymic reaction with competing substrates is given explicitly in the present paper. Kinetic parameters can be readily obtained. The method is applied to the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin, with cephalosporin C as the reporter substrate, catalysed by a Pseudomonas beta-lactamase.

Project description:Biochemical transformation kinetics is based on the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. We developed a robust scheme based on unit productions of enzymes and reactants in cyclic events to comply with mass action law to form enzyme-substrate complexes. The developed formalism supports a successful application of Michaelis-Menten kinetics in all biochemical transformations of single parameters. It is an essential tool to overcome some challenging healthcare and environmental issues. In developing the formalism, we defined the substrate [S]= [Product]3/4 and rate of reaction based on rate and time perspectives. It allowed us to develop two quadratic equations. The first, represents a body entity that gave a useful relationship of enzyme E?=?2S0.33, and the second nutrients/feed, each giving [Enzymes] and [Enzyme-substrate complexes], simulating rate of reaction, [substrate], and their differentials. By combining [Enzymes] and [Enzyme-substrate complexes] values, this quadratic equation derives a Michaelis-Menten hyperbolic function. Interestingly, we can derive the proportionate rate of reaction and [Enzymes] values of the quadratics resulting in another Michaelis-Menten hyperbolic. What is clear from these results is that between these two hyperbolic functions, in-competitive inhibitions exist, indicating metabolic activities and growth in terms of energy levels. We validated these biochemical transformations with examples applicable to day to day life.

Project description:The capacity of three B-lymphocyte cell lines to generate superoxide (O2.-) was examined. The Burkitt lymphoma lines P.3HR-1 and Jijoye gave no response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) at 100 ng/ml but produced up to 0.35 nmol of O2.-/min per mg of protein when stimulated with 5 micrograms of PMA/ml; the cell line RPMI 1788 produced Nitro Blue Tetrazolium-positive responses to low PMA concentrations and approx. 0.4 nmol of O2.-/min per mg of protein at 5 micrograms of PMA/ml. Each cell line contained approx. 10 pmol of low-potential cytochrome b (cytochrome b-245)/mg of protein. Homogenates of PMA-activated cells gave 10-20-fold greater rates of O2.- produced per mg of protein. The Km for NADPH varied between approx. 250 microM for P3.HR-1 and RPMI 1788 cell lines and 30.5 +/- 6.5 microM for the Jijoye cell line; the Km values for NADH were higher. Determination of intracellular NADPH concentration showed that this might limit the rate of O2.- production since in each cell line it was at or below the Km concentration.

Project description:A method is described for fitting the velocities obtained from progress curves to a steady-state rate equation. It is based on the method of Markus & Plesser [(1981) in Kinetic Data Analysis: Design and Analysis of Enzyme and Kinetic Data (Edrenyi, ed.), pp. 317-339, Plenum Press, New York]. The obstacle of needing good initial estimates of kinetic parameters is removed by using the parameters provided graphically by a minor modification of the method of Yun & Suelter [(1977) Biochim, Biophys. Acta 480, 1-13]. This progress-curved-based method allows the same discrimination among rival models as do the initial-velocity-based methods, with a great saving of experimental time. The BASIC and FORTRAN 77 programs are deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50132 (17 pages) at the British Library (Lending Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

Project description:Several approaches for determining an enzyme's kinetic parameter Km (Michaelis constant) from progress curves have been developed in recent decades. In the present article, we compare different approaches on a set of experimental measurements of lactonase activity of paraoxonase 1 (PON1): (1) a differential-equation-based Michaelis-Menten (MM) reaction model in the program Dynafit; (2) an integrated MM rate equation, based on an approximation of the Lambert W function, in the program GraphPad Prism; (3) various techniques based on initial rates; and (4) the novel program "iFIT", based on a method that removes data points outside the area of maximum curvature from the progress curve, before analysis with the integrated MM rate equation. We concluded that the integrated MM rate equation alone does not determine kinetic parameters precisely enough; however, when coupled with a method that removes data points (e.g., iFIT), it is highly precise. The results of iFIT are comparable to the results of Dynafit and outperform those of the approach with initial rates or with fitting the entire progress curve in GraphPad Prism; however, iFIT is simpler to use and does not require inputting a reaction mechanism. Removing unnecessary points from progress curves and focusing on the area around the maximum curvature is highly advised for all researchers determining Km values from progress curves.

Project description:The aim was to elucidate how steps in drug translocation by a solute carrier transporter impact Michaelis-Menten parameters Km, Ki, and Vmax. The first objective was to derive a model for carrier-mediated substrate translocation and perform sensitivity analysis with regard to the impact of individual microrate constants on Km, Ki, and Vmax. The second objective was to compare underpinning microrate constants between compounds translocated by the same transporter. Equations for Km, Ki, and Vmax were derived from a six-state model involving unidirectional transporter flipping and reconfiguration. This unidirectional model is applicable to co-transporter type solute carriers, like the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) and the proton-coupled peptide cotransporter (PEPT1). Sensitivity analysis identified the microrate constants that impacted Km, Ki, and Vmax. Compound comparison using the six-state model employed regression to identify microrate constant values that can explain observed Km and Vmax values. Results yielded some expected findings, as well as some unanticipated effects of microrate constants on Km, Ki, and Vmax. Km and Ki were found to be equal for inhibitors that are also substrates. Additionally, microrate constant values for certain steps in transporter functioning influenced Km and Vmax to be low or high.

Project description:Examining enzyme kinetics is critical for understanding cellular systems and for using enzymes in industry. The Michaelis-Menten equation has been widely used for over a century to estimate the enzyme kinetic parameters from reaction progress curves of substrates, which is known as the progress curve assay. However, this canonical approach works in limited conditions, such as when there is a large excess of substrate over enzyme. Even when this condition is satisfied, the identifiability of parameters is not always guaranteed, and often not verifiable in practice. To overcome such limitations of the canonical approach for the progress curve assay, here we propose a Bayesian approach based on an equation derived with the total quasi-steady-state approximation. In contrast to the canonical approach, estimates obtained with this proposed approach exhibit little bias for any combination of enzyme and substrate concentrations. Importantly, unlike the canonical approach, an optimal experiment to identify parameters with certainty can be easily designed without any prior information. Indeed, with this proposed design, the kinetic parameters of diverse enzymes with disparate catalytic efficiencies, such as chymotrypsin, fumarase, and urease, can be accurately and precisely estimated from a minimal amount of timecourse data. A publicly accessible computational package performing such accurate and efficient Bayesian inference for enzyme kinetics is provided.

Project description:A method is described whereby net rate constants can be directly inferred from the progress curves of enzyme intermediates without the need for model specification, numerical analysis, curve fitting, or the steady-state approximation. Specifically, if an enzyme intermediate in an ultimately irreversible serial subsequence is perturbed from and returns back to its equilibrium state as the substrate is consumed, then its net rate constant is given by the ratio of the total substrate consumed and the area under the progress curve for the enzyme intermediate. A rigorous analysis demonstrates this result to hold independent of the complete enzymatic reaction in which the subsequence is embedded, making it broadly applicable to a very wide range of kinetic mechanisms, including those complicated by inhibition. As a theoretical consequence, it is shown that traditionally steady-state parameters such as kcat, kcat/KM, and net rate constants can be expressed as limiting ratios of averages without requiring the steady-state hypothesis. Finally, a mock data set is generated for a system of contemporary interest that can serve as both an example of how the methodology would be used in practice and a proof of concept.

Project description:A difficulty associated with high throughput screening for enzyme inhibitors is to establish reaction conditions that maximize the sensitivity and resolution of the assay. Deduction of information from end-point assays at single concentrations requires a detailed understanding of the time progress of the enzymatic reaction, an essential but often difficult process to model. A tool to simulate the time progress of enzyme catalyzed reactions and allows adjustment of reactant concentrations and parameters (initial concentrations, K(m), k(cat), K(i) values, enzyme half-life, product•enzyme dissociation constant, and the rate constant for the reversed reaction) has been developed. This tool provides comparison of the progress of uninhibited versus inhibited reactions for common inhibitory mechanisms, and guides the tuning of reaction conditions. Possible applications include: analysis of substrate turnover, identification of the point of maximum difference in product concentration (?(max)[P]) between inhibited and uninhibited reactions, determination of an optimal observation window unbiased for inhibitor mechanisms or potency, and interpretation of observed inhibition in terms of true inhibition. An important observation that can be utilized to improve assay signal strength and resolution is that ?(max)[P] occurs at a high degree of substrate consumption (commonly >75%) and that observation close to this point does not adversely affect observed inhibition or IC(50) values.
