title: The effect of digitalis glycosides-specific antisera on the binding of the glycosides to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.
abstract: The capability of digitalis glycoside-specific antisera to reverse the glycoside-induced inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity was examined. The antisera-induced reversal of the ATPase inhibition caused by digoxin was considerably slower (k-1 = 0.1177 . 10-3 .S-1) than the reversal caused by dihydrodigoxin and dihydrodigitoxin (k-1 = 4.462 . 10-3 . S-1 and K-1 = 3.609 .10-3 . S-1, respectively). In addition, the dissociation rate constants of the ouabain-induced dissociation of the various glycosides from the glycoside-ATPase complex were determined: The dissociation rate constants of the antisera-induced restoration of enzyme activity and that of the ouabain-induced dissociation of glycosides from the glycoside-enzyme complex were not significantly different.
