Effect of adding increasing amounts of isovaleryl-CoA on IVD absorbance
at specific wavelengths: (A) decrease of absorbance at 447 nm, solid triangle,
and increase of absorbance at 584 nm, solid square. (B) Stockell plot derivative
of the absorbance data, at 447 nm, from three separate titrations. The
extrapolated Y intercept represents the number of active sites per monomer, and
the slope represents the KD app, the apparent
binding constant, see Materials and Methods. E represents one
subunit and L is the ligand, isovaleryl–CoA. (C) Changes in absorbance
at indicated wavelengths induced by addition of 4.3, 8.6, 12.8, 17.0, 21.2,
25.3, 29.4, 33.5, 37.5, 45.5, and 49.5 µM isovaleryl-CoA.
