A relatively simple kinetic model is proposed to account simultaneously for data on the binding of carbamyl phosphate and succinate to aspartate trans carbamylase (ATCase), and for the relaxation spectrum associated with this binding. The model also accounts for measurements of the initial velocity of the reaction of ATCase with respect to aspartate and carbamyl phosphate. The principal assumption made is that ATCase consists of three identical noninteracting cooperative dimers. Ordered binding and both sequential and concerted conformational changes in the dimers are needed to account for the properties of ATCase. The values of the parameters of this model can be determined by fitting to existing experimental evidence. Various new quantitative predictions are made that can serve as additional tests of the proposed theory.
提出了一个相对简单的动力学模型,以同时解释氨甲酰磷酸和琥珀酸与天冬氨酸转氨甲酰酶(ATCase)结合的数据,以及与此结合相关的弛豫光谱。该模型还解释了ATCase与天冬氨酸和氨甲酰磷酸反应的初始速度的测量结果。所做的主要假设是,ATCase由三个相同的非相互作用的协同二聚体组成。需要有序结合以及二聚体中的顺序和协同构象变化来解释ATCase的特性。该模型参数的值可以通过拟合现有实验证据来确定。做出了各种新的定量预测,可作为对所提出理论的额外检验。
