Kinetic and spectroscopic studies of transhydrogenase activity and nucleotide site of lipoamide dehydrogenase.
The kinetic behavior and spectroscopic characteristics of the nucleotide site(s) of lipoamide dehydrogenase have been investigated. Both subunits of the dimeric enzyme interact with NAD+. The binding of NAD+ is associated with a negative trough around 420-450 nm and a positive peak at 507 nm of the difference spectrum. The transhydrogenation between NADH and thionicotinamide nucleotide or acetylpyridine nucleotide is shown to proceed via a Ping Pong or an ordered Bi Bi mechanism, respectively, at pH above 7.0. Lowering pH or acetamidation lose the spectral characteristic of the positive peak of the enzyme-NAD+ complex with a concurrent change in the kinetic mechanism in the NADH+-acetylpyridine nucleotide transhydrogenation.
