Binding of adducts of NAD(P) and enolizable ketones to NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenases.
Carbonyl compounds such as alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, oxaloacetate, butyraldehyde, acetaldehyde or acetone react with NAD or NADP to give adducts. Binding studies of adducts to dehydrogenases are performed by means of ultraviolet differential spectroscopy, circular dichroism and spectrofluorimetry. The dehydrogenases show a high degree of binding specificity toward the adducts which contain their specific oxidized substrate and their specific coenzyme. The high selectivity of the dehydrogenases for adducts is evidenced by binding studies of NAD(P)-pyruvate and NAD(P)-alpha-ketoglutarate adducts on glutamate dehydrogenase at pH 7.6 and 8.9. Evidence is presented showing that adducts bind to the active site of the enzymes.
