Estimation of the overall kinetic parameters of enzyme inactivation using an isoconversional method

Abstract

An isoconversional method is proposed in order to calculate the kinetic parameters of enzyme inactivation. The method provides an efficient and low-cost procedure to describe both operational and thermal inactivation. Unlike the ordinary kinetic assays performed at constant enzyme concentration and at various substrate concentrations, the isoconversional method requires several extended kinetic curves for constant initial substrate concentration and different enzyme concentrations. The procedure was tested and validated using simulated data obtained for several kinetic models frequently discussed in the literature. After the validation, the isoconversional method was used for the investigation of the thermoinactivation of urease during urea hydrolysis in self buffered medium and the operational inactivation (destructive oxidation by excess peroxide) of catalase at high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The results showed that the isoconversional method gives good results of global inactivation constant for both simple and more complex models.
