[Properties of human creatine kinase isoenzymes].

Properties of human creatine kinase isoenzymes (MM, MB and BB) are investigated. The most pronounced differences in properties of these isoenzymes are found under their urea inactivation, heat denaturation and the inhibition by rabbit antisera to isoenzymes. Differences in values of the Mikhaelis constant and substrate and pH dependencies are much less pronounced. The presence of ADP stabilizes creatine kinase isoenzymes under conditions of urea and heat inactivation. Properties of hybrid MB isoenzymes are found to be intermediate with respect to MM and BB isoenzymes. A mode of the interaction of M and B subunits in dimeric molecules of creatine kinase isoenzymes is discussed.
