Abstract

A method is described for the enthalpimetric determination of inhibition constants based on a previously reported procedure for the determination ofK m, using the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation. The inhibition of the cholinesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of butyryl-choline by morphine, quinine and procaine is chosen as a model. The results compare favourably with Lineweaver-Burk data.

Résumé

On décrit une méthode pour déterminer les constantes d'inhibition, qui repose sur un procédé publié auparavant oùK m est obtenu à partir de l'équation de Michaelis-Menten intégrée. On a choisi comme modèle l'hydrolyse de la butyrylcholine catalysée par la cholinestérase et inhibée par la morphine, la quinine et la procaïne. Les résultats peuvent être comparés favorablement aux données obtenues par Lineweaver-Burk.

Zusammenfassung

Eine Methode zur enthalpimetrischen Bestimmung von Hemmungskonstanten wird beschrieben, welche auf einem früher bekanntgegebenen Verfahren zur Bestimmung vonK m unter Anwendung der integrierten Michaelis-Menten Gleichung beruht. Die Hemmung der durch Cholinesterase katalysierten Hydrolyse von Butyrylcholin durch Morphin, Chinin und Procain wird als Modell gewählt. Die Ergebnisse sind in guter Übereinstimmung mit Lineweaver-Burk Angaben.
