PRACTICAL ENZYMOLOGY

S � P

A1. Decrease of S or increase of P: How can be the reaction followed ?

A2. Calculations: how can v be obtained from experimental data?

v generally in µmol/min/ml (= UI/ml) NOT µM!!!

kcat in s-1

Measurement of reaction RATE

2

Specificity of the reaction measurement (“do we measure the correct reaction”?)

Is the reaction you are measuring carried out by only one enzyme?

Temperature? Co-factors? Competing activities?

Are there “non-enzymatic” pathways to the products?

Controls, controls, controls.

3

• Continuous assay: The signal is measured at discrete intervals over the entire linear range of the reaction. The initial velocity is measured from the slope of the linear range of the curve.

• Discontinuous (End-point) assay: the signal is measured at a specific time point on the linear range of the assay.

Disadvantage : won’t notice deviations from linearity!

PRACTICAL ENZYMOLOGYS � P

a. With separation (no change in a parameter needed)

Glucose + [γ-32P]-ATP � [32P]-G-6-P+ ADPMg2+

Stop at various times (EDTA or denaturation by acid or heat)Separation by TLC (thin layer chromatography or HPLC)(Ion exchange; DEAE Cellulose)

<10% of the substrate should react (initial rate!)

PRACTICAL ENZYMOLOGYS � P

[γ-32P]-ATP + GDP � [γ-32P]-GTP + ADP

Site-directed Mutation of Nucleoside diphosphate kinase

Wrong analysis – not initial rates!

ADP and GDP are not seen (are not radioactive)

S � P

b. Continuous assays, no separation (a parameter change during the reaction)

This parameter should be proportionnal to the concentration

• Absorbance• fluorescence intensity• Chemiluminescence• Oxygen concentration• pH• (RMN, RPE, viscosimetry, calorimetry….)

b. Continuous assays, no separation

Example: dehydrogenases NAD(P)-dependentes

NADH and NADPH absorb lightat 340 nm and are fluorescent

NAD+ and NADP+ do NOT absorb lightat 340 nm and are NOT fluorescent

ActivityInitial rates of the reaction measured Proportionality between initial velocity and enzyme concentration Specific activity

Units necessary:Expressed as concentration per amount per time, e.g. micromol product formed/(min . mg enzyme protein) -sometimes referred to as enzyme unit or international unit). The katal (mol/second) may alternatively be used as a unit of activity (conversion factor 1 unit = 16.67 nkat).

Much reported enzyme data is of limited use to others attempting to apply those data, because the conditions under insufficiently documented. This list was compiled, as a service to the community, by the STRENDA Commission to c information that should accompany any published enzyme activity data

Measuring fluorescence intensity

More sensitive than spectrophotometryBut…Is not an absolute method (calibration is needed)

The reverse reaction cannont be easily followed(Inner filter effect if A340 > 0.1) Light absorbtion cannot be avoided(no absorbtion, no fluorescence!)

Measuring protons released/bound during the reaction

Glucose + MgATP � G-6-P+ ADP + H+

Measuring H+ release:

1.Manometric (oldest method): reaction with NaHCO3 and measuring pressure. Glycolysis and Krebs cycle were discovered in that way in the 1930. No spectrophotometer, no X-ray at that time!!2.Measuring pH in a buffer-free medium3.pH-stat (NaOH is added to maintain pH constant)4.Using a pH indicator dye

Absorbance or fluorescence intensity measurement

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase added in large excess

What means: « added in large excess » ?

23


What means: « added in large excess » ?The measured rate should be that of the hexokinase reaction!The G6PDH activity should be >100x that of the HKBut…..in fact the important parameter is Vmax/Km and not Vmax since [G6P] << Km!!!

How to be sure that the coupling enzyme is in excess? You add more G6PDH and the measured reaction rate do not change.

The enzymologist should find under which experimental conditions the equations are most simple, rather than develop huge equations for data obtained under non optimised conditions

Analysis of Kinetic Data

36


• The rate equations are non-linear, so it is convenient to reformulate the equation to give a linear relationship. The most common linearization is the Lineweaver-Burk or double reciprocal plot, obtained from the reciprocal of the Michaelis-Menten equation.

• DISADVANTAGE: the data usually involve large ratios of KM so the data is crowded. At low [S] values the errors are often large.

En résumé : quelques définitions : - le Becquerel (Bq) : Unité de radioactivité du Système International. - la désintégration par seconde (dps) :

1 Bq = 1 dps - la désintégration par minute (dpm) :

1 dps correspond à 60 dpm - le Curie (Ci) : nombre de dps pour 1 g de radium

1 Ci = 3,7 1010 Bq = 2,22.10 12 dpm - le nombre de coups par minute (cpm) : mesure de la radioactivité effectuée par un compteur de radioactivité. NB : Il n'y a pas équivalence absolue entre le nombre de cpm et de dpm. Pour connaître l'équivalence entre cpm et dpm, il faut connaître le rendement du compteur. Le rendement de comptage sera le rapport cpm/dpm (ce rendement peut être > à 1)

rendement = cpm / dpm

dpm = cpm / rendement - La période (t 1/2) d'un radioélément est le temps pour lequel la moitié des atomes initiaux disparaissent. Isotopes les plus intéressants :

Practical Enzyme Kinetics

• There are many ways to assay an enzyme!

• Assays differ in their features and in their uses and limitations. It is important to understand the terminologies used in describing an enzyme assay and to keep the limitations in mind when you read papers reporting values obtained using enzyme kinetics or when you seek to assay an enzyme for yourself.

• The following methods are described for assays designed to measure initial velocities. Recall that working under initial velocity conditions greatly

46

Direct Assay• Direct measurement of [P] or [S] as a function of time

• eg. cytochromec oxidase

cyt c (Fe2+) cyt c (Fe3+)

47

Indirect Assay

• In this case, S & P do not provide a distinct, measureablesignal. Product formation is, therefore, monitored by coupling the reaction to a non-enzymatic reaction that doesyield a distinct signal.
