Studies on the kinetic mechanism of nitrate reductase from spinach (Spinacea oleracea).
Based on Lineweaver-Burk plots of the initial velocities, at different concentrations of NADH and nitrate, and product inhibition patterns, an Iso Ping Pong Bi Bi steady state kinetic mechanism is proposed for the spinach nitrate reductase. This mechanism incorporates the concept that the oxidized enzyme is present in two isomeric forms.
