Table 2. Concentrations of DTDA that induces 50% inhibition in TcTIM and some of its mutants.
Enzyme | IC50 (µM) |
TcTIM wild | 0.258±0.035 |
TcTIM C118V | 0.208±0.037 |
TbTIM V118C | NE |
LmTIM | NE |
TcTIM C15A | 0.346±0.032 |
TcTIM C40A * | 1.532±0.450 |
TcTIM C127A | 0.057±0.0080 |
The effect of DTDA on the indicated enzymes was determined as in Figure 1, from the data the concentration that induced half-maximal inhibition was calculated. NE indicates that 200 µM DTDA had no effect.
As noted in the text, relatively low DTDA concentrations inhibit the activity by approximately 50%; significantly higher concentrations were required for full inhibition. The data in the Table indicate the concentration at which half-maximal inhibition of the initial phase was achieved.
