Studies on the kinetic mechanism of nitrate reductase from spinach (Spinacea oleracea). 1980

F F de la Rosa, and E Palacián, and F Castillo

Based on Lineweaver-Burk plots of the initial velocities, at different concentrations of NADH and nitrate, and product inhibition patterns, an Iso Ping Pong Bi Bi steady state kinetic mechanism is proposed for the spinach nitrate reductase. This mechanism incorporates the concept that the oxidized enzyme is present in two isomeric forms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6. Oxidoreductases, NADH, NADPH,NADPH Oxidoreductases NADH,Oxidoreductases NADH, NADPH
D009572 Nitrite Reductases A group of enzymes that oxidize diverse nitrogenous substances to yield nitrite. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 1. Nitrite Reductase,Reductase, Nitrite,Reductases, Nitrite
D014675 Vegetables A food group comprised of EDIBLE PLANTS or their parts. Vegetable
