Kinetics and mechanism of heterogeneous hydrolysis of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] film by PHA depolymerases

Mukai, Katsuyuki, Yamada, Kenji, Doi, Yoshiharu·1993·International Journal of Biological Macromolecules

Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of enzymatic degradation on the surface of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (P[(R)-3HB]) film have been studied using three types of extracellular poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) depolymerases from Alcaligenes faecalis, Pseudomonas picketti and Comamonas testosteroni. The monomer and dimer of 3-hydroxybutyric acid were produced during the course of the enzymatic degradation of P[(R)-3HB] film, and the rate of production was determined by monitoring the increase in absorbance at 210 nm on a spectrophotometer. The rate of enzymatic degradation increased to a maximum value with the concentration of PHA depolymerase, followed by a gradual decrease. The kinetic data were accounted for in terms of a heterogeneous enzymatic reaction, involving enzymatic degradation on the surface of P[(R)-3HB] film via two steps of adsorption and hydrolysis by a PHA depolymerase with binding and catalytic domains. The kinetic results suggest that the properties of the catalytic domains are very similar among the three PHA depolymerases, but that those of the binding domains are strongly dependent on the type of depolymerase.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
