The effects of 0-30% methanol (vol/vol) on the Km an Vm values for both the forward and reverse directions of the L-glutamate dehydrogenase reaction were determined at 0 degrees C. The decrease in temperature alone had very little effect on these parameters. However, in the forward reaction, 30% methanol resulted in a 14-fold decrease in the Km value for glutamate, a slight decrease in the Km value for NADP, and a thirty-fold decrease in Vm. Substrate inhibition by glutamate was observed at concentrations greater than 4 mM. In the reverse reaction, 30% methanol caused a decrease in the Km values for alpha-ketoglutarate and ammonia and a 10-fold decrease in Vm. Substrate inhibition by both alpha-ketoglutarate and NADPH was observed at concentrations of either substrate above 0.03 mM. The dependence of Km for glutamate and Vm values for the forward reaction on methanol concentration suggests that they are similarly affected by methanol, in direct contrast to results obtained for NADP. Methanol appeared to cause a general tightening of complexes, which may arise from an effect on the "activities" of species in solution. The use of methanol not only allows for the study of reaction intermediates by slowing the reaction with the cryogenic method, but may also serve as a mechanistic probe by affecting several polarity as well as Km, Vm, and K1 values.
