Determination of the dissociation constants of pea diamine oxidase
1992
Pec, P. | Haviger, A. | Frebort, I.
The activity of diamine oxidase [EC 1.4.3.6], (DAO) isolated from pea cotyledons was measured in Britton-Robinson buffers at pH range 5.0 - 9.6 by spectrophotometric method with E-1,4-diamino-2-butene as substrate. The enzyme has the highest activity at pH = 7.7 and in pH > 8.0 it is irreversible denaturated with time. The dissociation constants of the enzyme and enzyme-substrate complex were calculated by Dixon's method from plots of log Vmax, log K(M) and log Vmax/K(M) against pH. The pK(E)A = 6.5 suggests that histidine is in active site of DAO.
