The spectral properties of ten redox indicator dyes were evaluated with the aim of finding the optimal choice for coupling to enzymatic reactions with high sensitivity for the production of the reduced form. Eight of the dyes were selected for coupling into a reaction cycle formed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase with substrates ethanol and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and diaphorase with substrates reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH, produced by the prior reaction) and the oxidized form of the respective dye. Two of the dyes exhibited decreased absorption on reduction, whereas all (eight) tetrazolium dyes increased in their absorption substantially upon reduction. Bis-tetrazolium dyes had a significantly higher molar extinction coefficient (up to 23,000 M-1.cm-1) than mono-tetrazolium dyes (down to 8000 M-1.cm-1). Kinetically, most dyes could be reduced with NADH (and diaphorase), but the rate of reduction varied considerably among the dyes with nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and tetranitroblue tetrazolium (TNBT) being the fastest. Therefore, NBT and TNBT seem to be the most suitable for fast response.

On changing stepwise the polypyrrole (PP) electrode potential a reverse change in the equilibrium concentration of a reduced coenzyme is observed in 0.1 M KNO3 solution containing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), ethyl alcohol, alcohol dehydrogenase and electrode system based on PP-modified platinum. Direct measurements of the solution pH and calculations verify the conclusion mode that the electrochemical control of dehydrogenase process proceeds via the pH change of the solution.

We have studied the binding nature of an aromatic aldehyde to the catalytic site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase from horse (LADH) using preresonance Raman spectroscopy. The compound p-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (DABA) is converted to the corresponding alcohol in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and a catalytic amount of enzyme at neutral pH. A stable ternary complex of LADH/NADH/DABA can be formed if enzyme and coenzyme are in excess at high pH [Jagodzinski, P. W., Funk, G. F., & Peticolas, W. L. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 2193-2202]. We have obtained the preresonance Raman spectrum of bound DABA by subtracting the contribution of the binary complex of LADH/NADH from the spectrum of this stable ternary complex. In order to understand the normal mode patterns of DABA, four isotopically labeled DABA derivatives were synthesized and their Raman spectra, in solution and in the ternary complex, were measured. Three of these compounds contain substitutions in the functionally important aldehyde moiety: (i) In one such substitution, the aldehydic hydrogen atom was replaced by a deuterium; (ii) in another, this hydrogen atom was replaced by deuterium, and the aldehydic carbon atom was replaced by 13C; and (iii) in the third derivative, only the carbon atom was replaced by 13C. The fourth derivative has had the two hydrogen atoms at the 3- and 5-positions of the DABA ring replaced by deuterium atoms. We find that many of the spectral modes are fairly extended, involving both stretching and bending motions of the entire molecule, although a few modes are quite localized. We find that the normal mode structure of DABA changes considerably when it binds to LADH/NADH. As a model for the bound DABA, we have examined the zinc complexes of DABA (and all four isotopically labeled samples) in anhydrous diethyl ether and methylene chloride. A striking correspondence between the Raman spectra of the enzyme-bound DABA and DABA-Zn complexes in solution is found, which extends to all the isotopically labeled derivatives. This suggests that one of the major roles of LADH in the binding of DABA is to provide a divalent zinc ion to form a first-sphere Lewis acid complex. The data also suggest other interactions between enzyme-bound DABA with its protein surroundings and with the coenzyme NADH are quite minor. An estimate of the carbonyl bond character of bound DABA had been made on the basis of the response of Raman bands to isotopic labeling and on trends observed in spectra of DABA in solvents of various polarities.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A gas sensor was built into an instrument to measure ethanol in biological liquids by determining head space ethanol concentrations without chromatography. The analysis of plasma, urine, and whole blood containing ethanol over the range 20-640 mg/dl determined by this novel instrument is fast (30 sec), accurate (r = 0.99), and precise (coefficients of variation 0.6-1.8%) when compared with gas chromatography. The addition of alcohol dehydrogenase, beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and semicarbazide to samples allows ethanol to be distinguished from other alcohols. The instrument can be built and operated at modest costs thus allowing its use in multiple settings.

Substitution of Co(II) for the catalytic site Zn(II) of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) yields an active enzyme derivative, CoIIE, with characteristic Co(II) charge-transfer and d-d electronic transitions that are sensitive to the events which take place during catalysis [Koerber, S. C., MacGibbon, A. K. H., Dietrich, H., Zeppezauer, M., & Dunn, M. F. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 3424-3431]. In this study, UV-visible spectroscopy and rapid-scanning stopped-flow (RSSF) kinetic methods are used to detect and identify intermediates in the LADH catalytic mechanism. In the presence of the inhibitor isobutyramide, the pre-steady-state phase of alcohol (RCH2OH) oxidation at pH above 7 is characterized by the formation and decay of an intermediate with lambda max = 570, 640, and 672 nm for both aromatic and aliphatic alcohols (benzyl alcohol, p-nitrobenzyl alcohol, anisyl alcohol, ethanol, and methanol). By comparison with the spectrum of the stable ternary complex formed with oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and 2,2',2''-trifluoroethoxide ion (TFE-), CoIIE(NAD+, TFE-), the intermediate which forms is proposed to be the alkoxide ion (RCH2O-) complex, CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2O-). The timing of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) formation indicates that intermediate decay is limited by the interconversion of ternary complexes, i.e., CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2O-) in equilibrium CoIIE(NADH, RCHO). From competition experiments, we infer that, at pH values below 5, NAD+ and alcohol form a CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2OH) ternary complex. RSSF studies carried out as a function of pH indicate that the apparent pKa values for the ionization of alcohol within the ternary complex, i.e., CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2OH) in equilibrium CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2O-) + H+, fall in the range 5-7.5. Using pyrazole as the dead-end inhibitor, we find that the single-turnover time courses for the reduction of benzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, anisaldehyde, and acetaldehyde at pH above 7 all show evidence for the formation and decay of an intermediate. Via spectral comparisons with CoIIE-(NAD+, TFE-) and with the intermediate formed during alcohol oxidation, we identify the intermediate as the same CoIIE(NAD+, RCH2O-) ternary complex detected during alcohol oxidation.

On- and off-velocity constants for NADH and NAD+ binding to liver alcohol dehydrogenase in the pH range 10-12 have been determined by stopped-flow kinetic methods. The results are consistent with previously reported equilibrium binding data and proposals attributing the main effects of pH on coenzyme binding to ionization of Lys-228 and zinc-bound water. Deprotonation of the group identified as Lys-228 decreases the NADH and NAD+ association rates by a factor exceeding 20 and has no detectable effect on the coenzyme dissociation rates in the examined pH range. Ionization of the group identified as zinc-bound water causes a 3-fold increase of the rate of NADH dissociation from the enzyme, and decreases the rate of NAD+ dissociation by a factor of 200. The NADH and NAD+ association rates are decreased by a factor of 30 and 5, respectively. The observed effects of pH can be rationalized in terms of electrostatic interactions of the ionizing groups with the charges present on the coenzyme molecules and lend support to the idea that binding of the coenzyme nicotinamide ring occurs subsequent to binding of the AMP portion of the coenzyme.

The compounds 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzyl alcohol are introduced as new chromophoric substrates for probing the catalytic mechanism of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH). Ionization of the phenolic hydroxyl group shifts the spectrum of the aldehyde from 360 to 433 nm (pKa = 6.0), whereas the spectrum of the alcohol shifts from 350 to 417 nm (pKa = 6.9). Rapid-scanning, stopped-flow (RSSF) studies at alkaline pH show that the LADH-catalyzed interconversion of these compounds occurs via the formation of an enzyme-bound intermediate with a blue-shifted spectrum. When reaction is limited to a single turnover of enzyme sites, the formation and decay of the intermediate when aldehyde reacts with enzyme-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide E(NADH) are characterized by two relaxations (lambda f approximately equal to 3 lambda s). Detailed stopped-flow kinetic studies were carried out to investigate the disappearance of aldehyde and NADH, the formation and decay of the intermediate, the displacement of Auramine O by substrate, and 2H kinetic isotope effects. It was found that NADH oxidation takes place at the rate of the slower relaxation (lambda s); when NADD is substituted for NADH, lambda s is subject to a small primary isotope effect (lambda Hs/lambda Ds = 2.0); and the events that occur in lambda s precede lambda f. These findings identify the intermediate as a ternary complex containing bound oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and some form of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzyl alcohol. The blue-shifted spectrum of the intermediate strongly implies a structure wherein the phenolic hydroxyl is neutral. When constrained to a mechanism that assumes only the neutral phenolic form of the substrate binds and reacts and that the intermediate is an E(NAD+, product) complex, computer simulations yield RSSF and single-wavelength time courses that are qualitatively and semiquantitatively consistent with the experimental data. We conclude that the LADH substrate site can be divided into two subsites: a highly polar, electropositive subsite in the vicinity of the active-site zinc and, just a few angstroms away, a rather nonpolar region. The polar subsite promotes formation of the two interconverting reactive ternary complexes. The nonpolar region is the binding site for the hydrocarbon-like side chains of substrates and in the case of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde conveys specificity for the neutral form of the phenolic group.

1H-NMR and electronic spectroscopic data are reported for the interaction of the effector molecule imidazole and the inhibitor molecule pyrazole with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase whose catalytic zinc ions were replaced by Co(II). In addition 13C-NMR and optical data are given for the binding of acetate to this enzyme species. For the binary complex with imidazole an assignment of the protons of the metal-coordinated imidazole has been made and it was found that the rate of exchange of the effector molecule is slow on the NMR time scale. In the presence of NADH which is bound to the open conformation of the binary complex, the most pronounced change is a shift of the beta-CH2 protons of the metal-coordinated cysteine residues which is attributed to hydrogen bonding interactions between the carboxamide group of the nicotinamide moiety with cysteine 46. The 1H-NMR spectra of the binary complex of Co(II)-HLADH with pyrazole show resonances assigned to the protons in the 3- and 4-positions of the bound inhibitor, the NH proton resonance is not detectable. In the ternary complex with pyrazole and NAD+ only the resonances of the beta-CH2 protons (beyond 150 ppm) are changed whereas the protons of histidine 67 and the bound inhibitor are unchanged. The data demonstrate that the coordination environment of the catalytic metal ion is changed very little when the protein changes from the open to the closed conformation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Chloral hydrate (CH), an intermediate metabolite of trichloroethylene, is reduced to trichloroethanol (TCE) by alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde reductase, and is also oxidized to trichloroacetic acid (TCA) by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent enzyme, CH dehydrogenase. Alcohol dehydrogenase requires reduced NAD (NADH), aldehyde reductase requires reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and CH dehydrogenase requires NAD to complete the reaction. It is unclear which reaction is predominant at the physiological redox level in intact liver cells. To study this question, we perfused the livers of well-fed rats with Krebs-Ringer buffer solution containing 0.1 mM pyruvate/1.0 mM lactate. The levels of TCE and TCA in the effluent were measured by gas chromatography, and the fluorescence of reduced pyridine nucleotides was measured with a surface fluorometer. When a low concentration (below 0.25 mM) of CH was administered, more TCA than TCE was produced. When a high concentration of CH was administered (over 0.5 mM), TCE production was greater. Reduced pyridine nucleotides decreased inversely with the CH concentration. Even at low CH concentrations, pyridine nucleotides were not reduced. When 10 mM lactate was added to the perfusate in order to reduce the pyridine nucleotides in the liver cells, the TCE/TCA ratio increased. On the other hand, the TCE/TCA ratio tended to fall following the addition of 5.0 mM pyruvate. In conclusion, the TCE/TCA ratio was altered according to the concentration of CH, and to the redox level of pyridine nucleotides in the liver.

The beta 3 beta 3 (formerly called beta Indianapolis) and beta 1 beta 1 isoenzymes of human alcohol dehydrogenase differ substantially in their catalytic properties. Specifically, the KM value for NAD+ of beta 3 beta 3 is 70 times greater than that of beta 1 beta 1, and the Ki value for NADH is 35 times greater than that of beta 1 beta 1. To identify the structural basis of these catalytic differences, we sequenced regions of the beta 3 subunit and the beta 3 gene. beta 3 differs from beta 1 by the substitution of Cys for Arg-369. Based on x-ray crystallography of horse ADH, Arg-369 should interact with the nicotinamide phosphate moiety of NAD(H). The Cys for Arg-369 substitution would decrease the enzyme's affinity for coenzyme and, thus, account for the observed kinetic differences between beta 3 beta 3 and beta 1 beta 1.
