Project description:Studies of steady-state kinetics of fumarase in the usual substrate-concentration range from 0.1 Km to 10 Km and in the high substrate-concentration range from 10 Km to 200 Km are described. The purpose is to investigate reports of substrate inhibition and oscillatory kinetics. In the normal substrate-concentration range, no deviations from hyperbolic kinetics were found, and in the extended concentration range, up to more than 200 times the Km value, no substrate inhibition was demonstrated. A discussion of the discrepancies between the mentioned reports of deviations from the hyperbolic kinetics and the present findings is given.

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:An analytic solution to enzyme kinetics expressed by the Michaelis-Menten-Monod mathematical framework is presented. The analytic solution describes the implicit problem with the independent variable, normally time, substituted with the concentration of the reaction product. The analytic solution provides the substrate, enzyme, and microbial biomass concentration instantaneously and over all time domains without the use of numerical integration schemes or iterative solvers required to overcome transcendental functions. Experiments of NO2 - nitrification by Candidatus Nitrospira defluvii at temperatures ranging between 10 and 32 °C were used for validation tests with the numerical solution by finite differences and the implicit analytic solution presented here. Results showed that both finite differences and analytic solutions matched the experiments particularly well, with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99 and residuals smaller than 2.75%.

Project description:An increase in nutrient dose leads to proportional increases in crop biomass and agricultural yield. However, the molecular underpinnings of this nutrient dose-response are largely unknown. To investigate, we assayed changes in the Arabidopsis root transcriptome to different doses of nitrogen (N)-a key plant nutrient-as a function of time. By these means, we found that rate changes of genome-wide transcript levels in response to N-dose could be explained by a simple kinetic principle: the Michaelis-Menten (MM) model. Fitting the MM model allowed us to estimate the maximum rate of transcript change (V max), as well as the N-dose at which one-half of V max was achieved (K m) for 1,153 N-dose-responsive genes. Since transcription factors (TFs) can act in part as the catalytic agents that determine the rates of transcript change, we investigated their role in regulating N-dose-responsive MM-modeled genes. We found that altering the abundance of TGA1, an early N-responsive TF, perturbed the maximum rates of N-dose transcriptomic responses (V max), K m, as well as the rate of N-dose-responsive plant growth. We experimentally validated that MM-modeled N-dose-responsive genes included both direct and indirect TGA1 targets, using a root cell TF assay to detect TF binding and/or TF regulation genome-wide. Taken together, our results support a molecular mechanism of transcriptional control that allows an increase in N-dose to lead to a proportional change in the rate of genome-wide expression and plant growth.

Project description:Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are responsible for the detoxification of harmful aldehydes. Due to the large number of isotypes, the physiological relevance of AKRs cannot be obtained using mRNA or protein quantification, but only through the use of enzymatic assays to demonstrate functionality. Here, we present a fast and simple protocol to determine the important Michaelis-Menten kinetics of AKRs, which includes various aldehyde substrates of interest such as 4-hydroxynonenal, methylglyoxal, and malondialdehyde. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Morgenstern et al. (2017) and Schumacher et al. (2018).

Project description:Nearly 100 years ago Michaelis and Menten published their now classic paper [Michaelis, L., and Menten, M. L. (1913) Die Kinetik der Invertinwirkung. Biochem. Z. 49, 333-369] in which they showed that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex predicted by the Michaelis-Menten equation. Because the original text was written in German yet is often quoted by English-speaking authors, we undertook a complete translation of the 1913 publication, which we provide as Supporting Information . Here we introduce the translation, describe the historical context of the work, and show a new analysis of the original data. In doing so, we uncovered several surprises that reveal an interesting glimpse into the early history of enzymology. In particular, our reanalysis of Michaelis and Menten's data using modern computational methods revealed an unanticipated rigor and precision in the original publication and uncovered a sophisticated, comprehensive analysis that has been overlooked in the century since their work was published. Michaelis and Menten not only analyzed initial velocity measurements but also fit their full time course data to the integrated form of the rate equations, including product inhibition, and derived a single global constant to represent all of their data. That constant was not the Michaelis constant, but rather V(max)/K(m), the specificity constant times the enzyme concentration (k(cat)/K(m) × E(0)).

Project description:MnO2 nanosheets and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorbance spectroscopy are used to study glucose oxidase (GOx) kinetics. Glucose oxidation by GOx produces H2O2, which rapidly decomposes the nanosheets and reduces their absorption. This direct approach for monitoring glucose oxidation enables simpler, real time kinetics analysis compared to methods that employ additional enzymes. Using this approach, the present study confirms that GOx kinetics is consistent with the Michaelis-Menten (MM) model, and reveals that the MM constant increases by an order of magnitude with increasing buffer concentration. Since larger MM constants imply higher enzyme substrate concentrations are required to achieve the same rate of product formation, increasing MM constants imply decreasing enzyme performance. These results demonstrate the facility of using MnO2 nanosheets to study GOx kinetics and, given the widespread applications of enzymes with buffers, the important sensitivity of enzyme-buffer systems on buffer concentration.

Project description:The driving force for active physical and biological systems is determined by both the underlying landscape and nonequilibrium curl flux. While landscape can be experimentally quantified from the histograms of the collected real-time trajectories of the observables, quantifying the experimental flux remains challenging. In this work, we studied the single-molecule enzyme dynamics of horseradish peroxidase with dihydrorhodamine 123 and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as substrates. Surprisingly, significant deviations in the kinetics from the conventional Michaelis-Menten reaction rate were observed. Instead of a linear relationship between the inverse of the enzyme kinetic rate and the inverse of substrate concentration, a nonlinear relationship between the two emerged. We identified nonequilibrium flux as the origin of such non-Michaelis-Menten enzyme rate behavior. Furthermore, we quantified the nonequilibrium flux from experimentally obtained fluorescence correlation spectroscopy data and showed this flux to led to the deviations from the Michaelis-Menten kinetics. We also identified and quantified the nonequilibrium thermodynamic driving forces as the chemical potential and entropy production for such non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Moreover, through isothermal titration calorimetry measurements, we identified and quantified the origin of both nonequilibrium dynamic and thermodynamic driving forces as the heat absorbed (energy input) into the enzyme reaction system. Furthermore, we showed that the nonequilibrium driving forces led to time irreversibility through the difference between the forward and backward directions in time and high-order correlations were associated with the deviations from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. This study provided a general framework for experimentally quantifying the dynamic and thermodynamic driving forces for nonequilibrium systems.

Project description:The Michaelis-Menten equation provides a hundred-year-old prediction by which any increase in the rate of substrate unbinding will decrease the rate of enzymatic turnover. Surprisingly, this prediction was never tested experimentally nor was it scrutinized using modern theoretical tools. Here we show that unbinding may also speed up enzymatic turnover--turning a spotlight to the fact that its actual role in enzymatic catalysis remains to be determined experimentally. Analytically constructing the unbinding phase space, we identify four distinct categories of unbinding: inhibitory, excitatory, superexcitatory, and restorative. A transition in which the effect of unbinding changes from inhibitory to excitatory as substrate concentrations increase, and an overlooked tradeoff between the speed and efficiency of enzymatic reactions, are naturally unveiled as a result. The theory presented herein motivates, and allows the interpretation of, groundbreaking experiments in which existing single-molecule manipulation techniques will be adapted for the purpose of measuring enzymatic turnover under a controlled variation of unbinding rates. As we hereby show, these experiments will not only shed first light on the role of unbinding but will also allow one to determine the time distribution required for the completion of the catalytic step in isolation from the rest of the enzymatic turnover cycle.

Project description:The Michaelis-Menten (MM) rate law has been the dominant paradigm of modeling biochemical rate processes for over a century with applications in biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, systems biology, and chemical engineering. The MM rate law and its remedied form stand on the assumption that the concentration of the complex of interacting molecules, at each moment, approaches an equilibrium (quasi-steady state) much faster than the molecular concentrations change. Yet, this assumption is not always justified. Here, we relax this quasi-steady state requirement and propose the generalized MM rate law for the interactions of molecules with active concentration changes over time. Our approach for time-varying molecular concentrations, termed the effective time-delay scheme (ETS), is based on rigorously estimated time-delay effects in molecular complex formation. With particularly marked improvements in protein-protein and protein-DNA interaction modeling, the ETS provides an analytical framework to interpret and predict rich transient or rhythmic dynamics (such as autogenously-regulated cellular adaptation and circadian protein turnover), which goes beyond the quasi-steady state assumption.
