We evaluated the new Beckman Enzymatic Amyalse-DS Method with maltotetraose as substrate. Our findings indicate that the method is approximately twice as sensitive as the old method involving soluble starch [Clin. Chem. 24, 762 (1978)]. The new method also shows a linear rate of reaction, in contrast to the curvilinear rate previously observed with the old method. The Km with maltotetraose is 0.77 g/L, or about twice that with soluble starch (0.42 g/L). The method correlates well with the Phadebas alpha-amylase method (r = 0.974 and 0.991 on 84 serum and 52 urine specimens, respectively). Of 43 specimens with high concentrations of pyruvate we examined for interference with alpha-amylase activity, only six showed interference when maltotetraose was the substrate. (With both Beckman methods the reaction of pyruvate with NADH produced lactate and NAD+ in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase as contaminant.) Pyruvate interference decreased with increases in (a) the alpha-amylase activity of the specimen, (b) the amount of NADH initially present in the maltotetraose reagent, and (c) the length of time the reconstituted maltotetroase reagent was allowed to stand before being used.

The formation of ternary inhibitor and 'dead end' complexes of pig heart lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) was studied by means of two NAD derivatives, spin-labelled at N6 and C-8 of the adenine ring. Dissociation constants calculated for the inhibitors oxamate and oxalate from their corresponding ternary complexes are in excellent agreement with data from literature derived from sedimentation experiments. However, the recently postulated enzyme-NADH-sulfite complex was not observed. The mobility of the spin-label, i.e. the protein conformation near the adenine binding pocket in various ternary complexes depends on the type of inhibition or substrate employed.

The changes induced by phenobarbital in cerebral enzymatic activities of the Krebs' cycle (citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase) and electron transfer chain (total NADH-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome oxidase) were studied. In addition, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase of acetylcholine esterase and of glutamate dehydrogenase was also studied. These enzymatic activities were evaluated in the homogenate in toto and in a crude mitochondrial fraction from rat brain. The modifications in some of these activities indicate that several new metabolic situations occur in brain tissue after phenobarbital treatment.

Lactate dehydrogenase from adult D. immitis was partially purified and characterized. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 130 000. The specific activity of the lactate dehydrogenase was 4.1 U/mg in the direction of NADH-oxidation and 0.38 U/mg protein in the direction of NAD-reduction. The Michaelis constants were determined to be 0.028 mM and 0.9 mM for NADH and NAD, respectively. Suramin was found to be a potent inhibitor of the lactate dehydrogenase activity. The inhibition constant was calculated to be 0.006 mM. The type of inhibition by suramin was competitive with respect to the cofactors. The Km-values for pyruvate and lactate were determined to be 0.3 mM and 11mM, respectively.

Changes induced on addition of the coenzyme, NADH or NAD+, to porcine lactic dehydrogenase isoenzymes H4 and M4 have been studied by hydrodynamic and spectroscopic methods. As shown by ultracentrifugal analysis, the native subunit structure remains unchanged on holoenzyme formation; an approximately 5% increase of the sedimentation coefficient, parallelled by a slight decrease of the partial specific volume (less than 1%) indicate a significant change in the native tertiary and/or quaternary structure of the enzymes, corroborating earlier calorimetric data (Hinz and Jaenicke, 1975). The binding constant for the enzyme from skeletal muscle (M4) and NADH are found to be in agreement with KD-values obtained from equilibrium dialysis, as well as spectroscopic and thermal titration experiments (8 muM). Far UV circular dichroism measurements do not show significant changes on ligand binding, indicating unchanged helicity or compensatory conformational effects. In the near UV, ligand binding is reflected by an extrinsic Cotton effect around 340 nm; in the range of aromatic absorption no changes are detectable. The experimental results suggest that there are gross structural changes on coenzyme binding to lactic dehydrogenase which do not affect the intrinsic spectral properties normally applied to analyze transconformation reactions in protein molecules.

The lactate dehydrogenase-catalyzed chain oxidation of NADH (LDH-NADH) by the superoxide radicals, HO2 and O2, has been studied with pulse radiolysis in the pH range between 4.5 and 9.0. The rate constants for the oxidation of the LDH-NADH by HO2 and O2 determined at 23 degrees are 1.2 times 10-6 M(-1) s(-1) and 3.6 times 10-4 M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The latter represents an activation of over 1000-fold by the enzyme. A chain reaction mechanism consistent with the results from these kinetic studies has been proposed.

2,3-Epoxybutyrate and 2,3-epoxypropionate act as effective competitive inhibitors of pig heart lactic dehydrogenase. KIapp for both inhibitors was pH dependent and varied according to the general equation KIapp = KI(1 +Ka/H+) which may be predicted if the binding of the epoxide to the E-NADH complex involves a compulsory protonation step. Values of KI(epoxybutyrate), KI(epoxypropionate) and pKa were estimated as 150 muM, 860 muM, and 6.8, respectively. The formation of an E-NADH epoxide inhibitor complex was followed directly by fluorescence measurements. Both epoxybutyrate and epoxypropionate enhanced fluorescence of the E-NADH complex and caused a 20-nm blue shift in the maximum emission wavelenght. The dissociation constants measured by fluorescence titration for both epoxides increased as the pH was raised reflecting a decreased affinity for the E-NADH complex. 2,3-Epoxybutyrate was also shown to inhibit beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase by a mechanism which is consistent with compulsory protonation prior to addition of the epoxide. These results are discussed in terms of a general mechanism for the bond forming events in pyridine nucleotide linked oxidore-ductases.

L-(+)-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990 was purified by affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was specifically activated by fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP). The concentration of FDP required for 50% maximal activity was about 0.15 mM. The enzyme activity was inhibited by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and oxamate. The inhibition by ADP appeared to be competitive with respect to reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The catalytic activity of the LDH for pyruvate reduction exhibited an optimum at pH 5.6. The enzyme is composed of four, probably identical, subunits. Sephadex gel filtration and sedimentation velocity at pH 5.6 Yielded molecular weights of about 130 000 and 126 000, respectively. The molecular weight at pH 6.5 and 7.0 was found to be only about 68 000. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate and sedimentation velocity at pH 2.0 or 8.5 revealed monomeric subunits with an approximate molecular weight of 36000. The thermostability of the heat labile enzyme was increased in the presence of FDP, NADH and pyruvate. The purified LDH exhibited an anomalous type of kinetic behavior. Plots of initial velocity vs. different concentrations of pyruvate, NADH or FDP led to saturation curves with intermediary plateau regions. As a consequence of these plateau regions the Hill coefficient alternated between lower and higher n-values. Some distinguishing properties of the S. epidermidis LDH and other LDHs activated by FDP are discussed.

Native Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase can be retained on blue-dextran--Sepharose. The bound enzyme cannot be displaced by its mononucleotide substrates such as ADP, UDP, CDP, GDP and IDP, but it is easily eluted by its polymeric substrates. Under identical conditions, lactate dehydrogenase, bound on blue-dextran--Sepharose, is not eluted by poly(I) but can be specifically displaced by NADH. On the other hand, the trypsinized polynucleotide phosphorylase, known to be an active enzyme which has lost its polynucleotide site, does not bind to the affinity column. The native polynucleotide phosphorylase can also be tightly bound to poly(U)--agarose and displaced from it only by high salt concentration. The trypsinized enzyme is not bound at all on poly(I)--AGAROSe. Moreover, the native enzyme linked on blue-dextran--Sepharose, remains active indicating a free access of nucleoside diphosphates to the active center. These results taken together show that the dye ligand is not inserted onto the mononucleotide binding site and suggest rather that it binds to the polynucleotide binding region. The implications of this study and the application of blue-dextran--Sepharose affinity chromatography to other proteins having affinity for nucleic acids are discussed.

1. In a group of 23 obese women the relations between some indicators of thyroid function (thyroxine-binding globuline--T4BG, triiodothyronine-binding globuline--T3BG, Achilles tendon reflex--ART) on the one hand and activities of enzymes of the energy metabolism (hexokinase--HK, triose phosphate dehydrogenase--TPDH, lactate dehydrogenase--LDH, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase--GPDH, citrate synthease--CS, malate dehydrogenase--MDH, hydroxyacyl--COA dehydrogenase) in the quadriceps femoris muscle on the other hand were investigated. 2. Correlations were found between T4BG and TPDH, LDH and GPDH activities, between T3BG and TPDH and GPDH activities and between the value of the Achilles tendon reflex and TPDH activity. Functionally these enzymes activities are associated with glycolysis and hydrogen transport from cytoplasmatic NADH2. No correlations were found between enzymes of the aerobic metabolism incl. enzymes of fatty acid oxidation and indicators of thyroid function. 3. The results indicate a relationship between thyroid function and enzymes involved in glycolysis and hydrogen transport from cytoplasmatic NADH2. They do not suggest, however, the unequivocal conclusion that in obese women with reduced thyroid function there is a generally reduced energy supplying metabolism in skeletal muscle.
