There are a large variety of ways of adding and removing both reactants and products. The enzyme can
act simply as a template for both reactants or actively participate as an intermediate in the reaction. The
general steady state equation is:
Vmax[A][B]
vi = , where the K's are referred to as "Michaelis" constants. Rearranging:
Kab + Ka [B] + Kb [A] + [A][B]

2. Two classes of bisubstrate reactions: Ternary and Binary Complex Mechanisms (significant
theoretical and experimental differences)

consecutive bimolecular steps) or single displacement reactions)

ii.) The kinetic characteristics of ternary complex mechanisms are converging lines in
double reciprocal plots. This means that the Kab has a finite value and that the species
EAB exists. Experimentally, [B] affects the slope of a 1/vi vs/ 1/[A] plot.

d) Product inhibition pattern for a random ternary complex mechanism using creatine kinase as
an example. (Note, only one product can be added; otherwise the reaction would go backward).

[A] [B] [P] [Q] P B 1/vi vs. 1/[A] competitive
P A 1/vi vs. 1/[B] competitive*
The non-competitive inhibition pattern suggests that Q A 1/vi vs. 1/[B] competitive
the binding of A and B is not ordered but random.
*Since the Pi of creatine-Pi overlaps the γ-Pi of
ATP, the observed inhibition pattern will be
competitive (i.e., they both can't bind at the same
time)
2. An ordered sequential addition of substrates: B can't bind until A is bound and induces the
formation of the B binding site. The mechanism reduces to:
kcat
E + A EA + B EAB EPQ release of products
KA K'B

b) Derivation from mechanism assuming rapid equilibria for substrate binding (Appendix C and Problem
Set 3, question 4.d):
In this case, there is no [B] term in the numerator of the expression for KM(obs) because there is no EB
complex.
! !
c) Experimental test for ordered or partially ordered ternary complex mechanisms - lines
intersecting above the x-axis in double reciprocal plots. There is no Ka[B] term in the expression
for KM(obs), and as a result, KM(obs) decreases from KA to 0 with increasing [B]. As before,
Vmax(obs) increases hyperbolically with increasing [B]. In the limiting case shown above, KM(obs)
decreases to 0 as [B]→∞. For mechanisms in between random and ordered, KM(obs) either stays the
same or decreases with increasing [B]. At [B]→∞, KM(obs) varies between KA (random) and 0
(ordered).

d). Product inhibition pattern for an ordered ternary complex mechanism using lactate
dehydrogenase as an example.

C Binary Complex Mechanism (other names: "ping-pong" or double displacement - see Problem Set 3, question
5)
1. General scheme: there is no ternary complex where both A and B are present on the enzyme
surface at the same time. Rather, catalysis occurs by two binary complexes, EA and E*B.

E + A EA E* + P
KA
k2
E* + B E*B E + Q

The first binary complex forms a modified enzyme species, E*, and produces one product (i.e., vi = dP/dt
= k1[EA]). The second complex, E*B, regenerates the original enzyme form, E, and produces the second
product, Q. E* is the modified enzyme form, which contains a part of the initial substrate (i.e., electrons,
phosphate, amino group in the form of a Schiffs' base to B6, etc.). Cleland notation:
A P B Q A B P Q
!
!

In the binary complex mechanism case, there is no Kab term since a ternary EAB complex never
forms. KM(obs) increases with increasing [B] because B binds to enzyme tying it up in the E*B
complex which prevents A from binding until product is formed.
3. Experimental test for a binary complex mechanism - parallel lines in double reciprocal
plots. There is no Kab term since EAB does not exist, and as a result, both Vmax(obs) and
KM(obs) depend on [B] by the same simple hyperbolic expression.

C. Experimental tests for determining the mechanism of bisubstrate reactions (i.e. the purpose or
motivation of this lecture). Is the reaction catalyzed by a binary or ternary complex mechanism? If
a ternary mechanism, is it random or ordered:
1. Steady state kinetic patterns for 1/vi vs. 1/[A] plots at varying [B]
a.) Converging lines -- ternary complex (pp. 2-4).
i. Random - lines converge on the x-axis indicating that KM(obs) does not depend on [B]
ii. Ordered, A before B - KM(obs)→0 with increasing [B] - line becomes parallel to the
1/[A] x-axis as [B]→∞ because 1/KM(obs)→∞ and slope (KM(obs)/VMAX(obs))→0.
b.) Parallel lines -- indicates, but does not "prove" a binary complex mechanism (p. 6).
2. Product inhibition patterns for the ternary complex mechanism (idealized).
3. Isolation of individual half reactions and the covalent enzyme intermediate indicates (if
not proves) that a binary complex mechanism occurs (i.e., pyridoxamine for transaminases -- p.
6).
4. Isotope exchange reactions can provide evidence for covalent enzyme intermediates and a
binary complex mechanism. (See next page.)
a. Examine for half reactions by isotope techniques (*radioactive label) - the first two work.

There is a rapid incorporation of label into sucrose in the absence of Pi.
d. This contrasts with maltose phosphorylase which requires a ternary complex and exhibits no
exchange reactions, except in the presence of all substrates (and products).
In this case the following half reactions do not work (note: maltose = glucose-glucose).
(i). Pi* + glucose-1-P no exchange
(ii). glucose* + (glucose-glucose) no exchange

Appendix A: Summary of Bisubstrate Reactions and Inhibition Patterns
(Equations for two different small molecules binding to an enzyme –Required see also Appendix C)
A. Bisubstrate reactions: fix [B] and vary [A] and then see how Vmax(obs) and KM(obs) depend on [B].

Vmax [A] Kb + [B]
vi = =

Kb + [B]
1. Ternary complex mechanism: Kab ≠ 0, and KM(obs) depends on [B] to a lesser extent or not at
all compared to the hyperbolic dependence of Vmax(obs) on [B]. As a result, the slope of 1/vi
versus 1/[A] varies with [B] and intersecting lines are observed. Remember, the slope in a double
reciprocal plot is KM(obs)/Vmax(obs). Note that if KM(obs) shows no dependence on [B], the
mechanism involves random addition of substrates because the binding of B has no affect on the
binding of A in the steady state. If KM(obs) approaches 0 as [B] increases, then the mechanism
involves an order addition of substrates with A binding first.
2. Binary complex mechanism: Kab = 0 so that Vmax(obs) and KM(obs) increase with increasing
[B] to the same extent (i.e. [B] / (Kb + [B])). As result, the slope of 1/vi versus 1/[A] does not vary
with [B] and parallel lines are observed in double reciprocal plots.
B. Inhibition Patterns (see Lecture 1- Olson): fix [I] {and [B] if a bisubstrate reaction} and vary [A]
and then see how Vmax(obs) and KM(obs) depend on [I]. KI is the equilibrium dissociation constant
for I binding to free enzyme, E, and K'I is the equilibrium dissociation constant for I binding to the
enzyme substrate complex, EA.
