Kinetic properties of purified pfNDH2 in the presence of electron-accepting substrates
Electron acceptor | kcat (1/min)a | Kma,b |
---|---|---|
CoQ0 | 20.0 ± 0.3 | 104.3 ± 6.6 |
CoQ1 | 0.9 ± 0.1 | 2.2 ± 1.2 |
CoQ4 | n.a. | n.a. |
CoQD | n.a. | n.a. |
Menadione | 4.6 ± 0.2 | 239.3 ± 22.4 |
DCIP | 1.9 ± 0.0 | 4.6 ± 0.4 |
Km and kcat values and standard deviations were calculated from three independent experiments. n.a., enzyme activity not observed.
For each Km determination, the concentration of either the electron acceptor or NADH was varied while the other substrate was fixed at 500 µM. Km and kcat values were determined using best-fit Michaelis–Menton curves.
