| pubmed-article:8218379 | pubmed:abstractText | The kinetic mechanism has been determined for human glutathione S-transferase rho (rho), an isoenzyme related to the human pi (pi) isoenzyme. The kinetic mechanism was investigated by both non-linear regression studies and the analysis of primary and secondary plots, utilizing initial rate and product inhibition data. It was concluded that human isoenzyme rho obeys a random sequential Bi-Bi rapid equilibrium mechanism with the formation of an enzyme-substrate-product (enzyme-CDNB-conjugate) dead-end complex. The values of KCDNB, KGSH and Kconjugate were 0.70 +/- 0.11, 0.12 +/- 0.02 and 0.016 +/- 0.004 mM, respectively. Comparison of the kinetic mechanism and kinetic parameters obtained for glutathione S-transferase isoenzyme rho with other class pi isoenzymes showed similarities at the primary kinetic level. | lld:pubmed |
