I. Puscas et al., CARBONIC-ANHYDRASE ACTIVATORS .9. KINETIC-PARAMETERS FOR ISOZYME-II ACTIVATION BY HISTAMINE PROVE A NONCOMPETITIVE TYPE OF INTERACTION, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 39(1), 1994, pp. 115-119
Kinetic data (K(M) and V(max)) for the hydration reaction catalyzed by
isozyme II of carbonic anhydrase (CA) are reported by a stopped-flow
technique. The same data were measured in the presence of the CA activ
ator histamine and the non-competitive inhibitor acetazolamide. The re
sults obtained suggest a non-competitive type of interaction between t
he enzyme and its modulators. Mechanistic and physiological consequenc
es of the obtained results are discussed too.
