Table 3.

Effect of polyphenolic compounds [cyanidin, quercetin, silybin, cyanin, (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin] on kinetic parameters of chromogenic substrate hydrolysis by thrombin

K m (10−6 M) V max (10−6 mol/min) k cat (1/s)
Control 158.7 30.7 29.1
Cyanidin 600.6 30.3 28.7
Quercetin 633.8 29.4 27.8
Silybin 550.5 27 25.6
Cyanin 344.6 20.8 19.7
(+)-Catechin 700.1 31.2 29.5
(−)-Epicatechin 481.5 29.4 27.8

Parameters: Michaelis constant (K m) and maximum speed (V max) of reaction was obtained from Lineweaver–Burk curves; enzyme catalytic constant (k cat) was calculated from formula: k cat = V max/E 0
