lower inhibitry potency, about 25% inhibition at 0.0025 mM
-
98% inhibition at 1 mM
-
4.7 mM, 50% inhibition
-
tested at 1.0 mM and under N2, 31% inhibition
-
shows noncompetitive inhibition in all conditions, it can bind to multiple enzyme forms or sites, even when either of the substrates (NADH or benzoquinone) is present at high concentrations
-
5 mM, complete inhibition
-
Glu274 is acting as an acidic backbone acceptor residue. Lys262, a basic amino acid from the active site of wheat Hydroquinone glucosyltransferase interacts with the hydroxyl group of hydroquinone and behaves as a side chain donor molecule. Asp264 is also observed as an interacting residue from the active site of hydroquinone glucosyltransferase. It binds to the hydroxyl group of hydroquinone inhibitor and donates hydrogen ion from its side chain group
-
strongly inhibits in absence of 2-mercaptoethanol
-
98% inhibition
-
competitive
-
irreversible inhibition
-
11% residual activity at 1 mM
-
noncompetitive inhibition, has minimal cytotoxicity against mammalian cells. Hydroquinone binds near the active center of alanine racemase
