Abstract
(1) Cholate is a mixed-type inhibitor of the enzymic activity of cytochrome c oxidase. The rate equations for mixed-type inhibition of the enzyme have been derived, based on Minnaert's Mechanism IV (1961, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 50, 23-34). The Ki of cholate for the free enzyme (E) and for the complexes of the enzyme with cytochrome c (ES and EP) was determined, being 125 and 190 microM, respectively. (2) Comparison of the properties of cholate and the intrinsic inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase (Van Buuren et al. (1971) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 243, 468-480) with respect to their type of inhibition and their affinity for enzyme, reveals that they are identical.Entities:
