Inhibitor (2 mM) | % CL-20 biotransformation activitya |
---|---|
None (control) | 100 ± 1.7 |
Diphenyliodonium | 38 ± 2.3 |
Dicumarol | 86 ± 3.5 |
Metyrapone | 91 ± 2.8 |
Carbon monoxideb | 87 ± 2.2 |
2,2-Dipyridyl | 92 ± 3.4 |
One hundred percent CL-20 biotransformation activity was equivalent to 11.5 nmol h−1 mg of protein−1. Data are mean percentages of CL-20 biotransformation activity ± standard errors (n = 3).
Carbon monoxide was bubbled through the aqueous phase and headspace for 60 s in sealed vials.
The CL-20 biotransformation activity of the membrane-associated enzyme(s) (1 mg/ml) was determined at pH 7.0 and 30°C after 1 h under anaerobic conditions.
