摘要
The influence of substrate inhibition on xanthine oxidase-intramolecular electron transport was studied by steady-state kinetic analysis. Experiments with hypoxanthine and xanthine up to 900-mu-M indicated an inhibition pattern which fitted an equation of the general form upsilon-0 = upsilon-max . [S]/(K(m) + a[S] + b[S]2/K(i)). Univalent electron flux to oxygen was favored at substrate concentrations above 50-mu-M. This augmentation of univalent flux percentage that appeared at a high substrate concentration was greater for hypoxanthine than xanthine and at pH 8.3 than at 9.5. Our results support a mechanism of inhibition in which a substrate-reduced enzyme, non-productive Michaelis complex was formed. It is possible that this non-productive complex favored the univalent pathway of enzyme reoxidation (superoxide production) by increasing the midpoint redox potential of the molybdenum active site.
