Initial rate studies of ethanol oxidation catalyzed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were carried out in the presence of varying concentrations of aliphatic amines over the pH range from 8.0 to 10.5. Aliphatic amines either activate or inhibit the enzyme depending on whether the pH is greater or less than 9.5 suggesting that the protonated amines activate and the nonprotonated amines inhibit the enzyme. Aliphatic amines activate yeast alcohol dehydrogenase by decreasing Kb while they inhibit the enzyme by increasing both Ka and Kia. When both protonated and nonprotonated amines are present in solution, either overall activation or inhibition will be observed depending on the relative concentration of the two amine species.

In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ?C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.

In this work, the binding of coenzymes to yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were investigated. The main criterions were the change in the standard free energies for individual reaction steps, the internal equilibrium constants and the overall changes in the reaction free energies. The calculations were performed for the wild type enzyme at pH 6-9 and for 15 different mutant type enzymes, with single or double point mutations, at pH 7.3. The abundance of theoretical and experimental data enabled the binding of coenzymes to enzyme to be assessed in depth.
