The solvent effects on the kinetics of bacterial formate dehydrogenase reaction.
The increase in concentration of organic cosolvents results in a 2-2.5-fold increase of the maximal reaction rate and a decrease of Michaelis constant for formate of NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase from methylotrophic bacteria Pseudomonas sp. 101. These parameters, however, are not affected with the increase of ionic strength. For the logarithm of both Vmax and Km a linear function of the reciprocal of solvent dielectric permittivity was found. The decrease of Km is possibly due to the dielectric screening effect on the substrate binding energy. The increase in Vmax is explained by a model based on a solvent-dependent electrostatic image force, acting on the charges moved in the course of the catalytic step of the enzyme reaction.
