| pubmed-article:18587966 | pubmed:abstractText | A kinetic model of the hydrocortisone-to-prednisolone transformation by Arthrobacter globiformis is constructed using the experimental data obtained in studies of this process. Besides adequately describing experimental data, the model allows one to determine the relation between hydrocortisone oxidation and the level of endogenous substrates in bacterial cells, and the relation between the saturating concentration of hydrocortisone in the enzymic system of bacteria and the content of endogenous substrates in their cells, as well as the regulation of the transmembrane potential and the activation by the uncouplers. | lld:pubmed |
