Elementary sulfur (S-8) is a novel, highly specific and potent inhibitor of adenylate kinase (AK). The inhibition of AK by S-8 is completely reversed by dithiothreitol and is accompanied by several fold increases in enzymatic activity. Sulfhydryl group interaction with S-8 does not appear to be the mechanism of AK inhibitor and the results of comparative inhibition studies with N-ethyl maleimide (NEM) indicates that NEM also does not interact with the sulfhydryl group of AK.
元素硫(S-8)是一种新型、高度特异性且强效的腺苷酸激酶(AK)抑制剂。S-8对AK的抑制作用可被二硫苏糖醇完全逆转,并且伴随着酶活性增加数倍。硫氢基与S-8的相互作用似乎不是AK抑制剂的作用机制,与N-乙基马来酰亚胺(NEM)的比较抑制研究结果表明,NEM也不与AK的硫氢基相互作用。
