title: Steady-state investigations of the mechanism of histidinol dehydrogenase.
abstract: Initial velocities of the histidinol dehydrogenase reaction (EC 1.1.1.23) were measured as a function of the concentrations of the substrates histidinol and NAD+ and in the presence and absence of the product NADH. The data are consistent with a Bi Uni Uni Bi Ping Pong mechanism. The kinetic constants of this mechanism were determined; Km for histidinol was found to be 14 microM and for NAD+ 0.7 mV; Ki for NAD+ was 0.4 mM.
