Abstract
Elementary sulfur (S-8) is a novel, highly specific and potent inhibitor of adenylate kinase (AK). The inhibition of AK by S-8 is completely reversed by dithiothreitol and is accompanied by several fold increases in enzymatic activity. Sulfhydryl group interaction with S-8 does not appear to be the mechanism of AK inhibitor and the results of comparative inhibition studies with N-ethyl maleimide (NEM) indicates that NEM also does not interact with the sulfhydryl group of AK.Entities:
