Apparent kinetic constants of glucose dehydrogenases harboring E170K, Q252L, and E170K/Q252L substitutionsa
Enzyme | Apparent Km (Glu) (mM) | Apparent Km (NAD+) (mM) | Apparent Km (NADP+) (mM) | Apparent kcat (Glu) (s−1) | Apparent kcat (Glu)/apparent Km (Glu) (mM−1 s−1) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wild type | 14 | 0.17 | 0.033 | 395 | 28 |
Q252L | 8 | 0.15 | 0.043 | 317 | 40 |
E170K | 7.5 | 0.22 | 0.051 | 352 | 47 |
Q252L/E170K | 8.5 | 0.33 | 0.049 | 334 | 39 |
Apparent kinetic constants were determined as described previously (1). The enzyme activity was measured with a Beckman DU-7500 spectrophotometer equipped with a thermostatic circulating water bath. The d-glucose concentrations for Km determinations were varied from 0.1 mM to 20 mM in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.5 mM NAD+, while the Km values for NAD+ and NADP+ were determined with 0.15 to 2.0 mM NAD+ and 0.05 to 2 mM NADP in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.1 M glucose.
