Effect of Mg2+ on the NADH Dissociation and Association Rates with ALDH2.
| [Mg2+] | k5 | KD | k−5a |
|---|---|---|---|
| (µM) | (s−1) | (µM) | (µM−1s−1) |
| 0 | [8.3] | [468] | [0.018] |
| 20 | [4.2] | [317] | [0.013] |
| 60 | - | 119 | - |
| 200 | 1.4 | 35 | 0.040 |
| 600 | - | 16 | - |
| 2000 | 0.5 | 12 | 0.04 |
| 6000 | 0.4 | 12 | 0.03 |
k−5 = k5/KD
[ ] indicates the KD values significantly exceeded the upper NADH concentration limit reached during NADH titrations. The k5 values may be underestimated and reflect the rate of mixing rather the rate of NADH dissociation causing the k−5 values to also be underestimated.
