Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate was used to O-alkylate nylon-tube thus producing the imidate salt of the nylon which was further made to react with 1,6-diaminohexane. 2. Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) were immobilized on the amino-substituted nylon tube through glutaraldeyde and bisimidates. 3. The effect of varying the conditions of O-alkylation and the amount of enzyme immobilized on the activity of nylon tube-hexokinase derivatives was determined. 4. The effect of varying the amount of enzyme immobilized on the activity of nylon-tube-glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase derivatives was determined. 5. The thermal stability of nylon-tube-hexokinase and nylon-tube-glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase derivatives was studied. 6. Different ratios of hexokinase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were co-immobilized on nylon tube, and the rate of conversion of glucose into 6-phosphogluconolactone was compared with the individual activities of the immobilized enzymes. 7. Hexokinase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase co-immobilized on nylon tube were used in the automated analysis of glucose.

Evidence is presented that intermediates of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) are channeled from one pathway enzyme to the next. CO2 produced from [1-14C]glucose in the presence of unlabelled pathway intermediates contained much more radioactivity than predicted by a model in which pathway-produced intermediates are in equilibrium with identical molecules in the bulk phase. This was the case whether glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P), 6-phosphogluconolactone, or 6-phosphogluconate was added. Assumptions involved in calculating the amount of 14CO2 predicted for free mixing of 14C-labelled and unlabelled intermediates are discussed, together with the following results. (a) 14CO2 production by pea nodules in the presence of 3 mM 6-phosphogluconate was higher than in its absence. (b) Apparent channeling of intermediates was much higher for purified yeast enzymes than for yeast extract. (c) 6-Phosphogluconate and 6-phosphogluconolactone were channeled between yeast Glc6P dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase despite the absence of 6-phosphogluconolactonase in the purified yeast enzyme mixture. (d) When purified yeast hexokinase was physically separated from Glc6P dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase by a dialysis membrane, there was no apparent channeling. (e) Poly(ethylene glycol), high salt and detergents had little effect on apparent channeling of OPPP intermediates, which is consistent with a stable complex of enzymes. On the other hand, density gradient centrifugation experiments suggested a more transient interaction between the enzymes. Taken together, the results support channeling of OPPP pathway intermediates.
