title: Inhibition of transketolase and pyruvate decarboxylase by omeprazole.
abstract: Omeprazole inhibited two thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzymes, pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1, PDC) from Zymomonas mobilis and transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1, TK) from human erythrocytes. Inhibition of PDC was competitive with the coenzyme with a Ki value of 42 +/- 3 microM, whereas inhibition of TK was complex.
