i.e. alloxan
-
0.5 mM, 74% of initial activity
-
alloxan treatment (100 mg/kg) leads to an 81% reduction in glucokinase immunoreactivity and a greater than 90% reduction in glucokinase enzymatic activity in the liver
-
inhibits above 1 mM, activity restored if cysteine is added at the same concentration
-
enzyme type A, for enzyme type B the optimal pH is broadened to a higher range
-
competitive
-
i.e. 2,4,5,6-tetraoxypyrimidine 5,6-dioxyuracil , 0.00125-0.02 mM alloxan causes a concentration-dependent uncompetitive inhibition. Dithiothreitol (0.7and 1 mM) completely prevents the inhibition induced by 0.01 and 0.02 mM alloxan. Similar protection is obtained in the presence of 2 mMglutathione
