The kinetic analysis of bisubstrate enzymatic reaction catalysed by electrophoretically homogenous thiamine pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.2), isolated from rat liver has been carried out. Kinetic studies of the initial rates in the absence of the products and inhibition by the reaction products as well as the data from the equilibrium dialysis suggest that the reaction proceeds through the formation of a ternary enzyme-substrate complex. The combination with substrates and release of the products appears to be highly ordered. A possible scheme of the reaction mechanism is discussed.
