Random-order binding

Substrates may add in a random order (either substrate may combine first with the enzyme) or in a compulsory order (substrate A must bind before substrate B). 

Figure 8. The most common enzyme mechanisms, represented by their corresponding Cleland plots The order in which substrates and products bind and dissociate from the enzyme is indicated by arrows, (a) The Random Bi Bi Mechanism-. Both substrates bind in random order, (b) The Ordered Sequential Bi Bi Mechanism-. The substrates bind sequentially, (c) The Ping Pong Mechanism-. The enzyme exists in different states E and E. A substrate may transfer a chemical group to the enzyme. Only upon release of the first substrate, the chemical group is transferred to the second substrate.

Along these fines, Liebermeister and Klipp [161] suggested the use of a rapid-equilibrium random-order binding scheme as a generic mechanism for all enzymes, independent of the actual reaction stoichiometry. While there will be deviations from the (unknown) actual kinetics, such a choice, still outperforms power-law or lin-log approximations [161].

Laser 1 excites the encoding dyes and the fluorescence is detected at two wavelengths. Laser 2 is used to quantify the analyte, (b) Scheme of randomly ordered bead array concept. Beads are pooled and adsorbed into the etched wells of an optical fiber, (c) Scheme of randomly-ordered sedimentation array. A set of encoded microspheres is added to the analyte solution. Subsequent to binding of the analyte, microparticles sediment and assemble at the transparent bottom of a sample tube generating a randomly ordered array. This array is evaluated by microscope optics and a CCD-camera. Reproduced with permission from Refs. [85] and [101]. Copyright 1999, 2008 American Chemical Society...

Bimolecular reactions of two molecules, A and B, to give two products, P and Q, are catalyzed by many enzymes. For some enzymes the substrates A and B bind into the active site in an ordered sequence while for others, bindingmay be iii a random order. The scheme shown here is described as random Bi Bi in a classification introduced by Cleland. Eighteen rate constants, some second order and some first order, describe the reversible system. Determination of these kinetic parameters is often accomplished using a series of double reciprocal plots (Lineweaver-Burk plots), such as those at the right. 

This process is referred to as an ordered pathway. An alternative is a random-order pathway, in which the two substrates can bind to the enzyme in either order. Still another scheme is for Si to bind to the enzyme and be converted to... 

Enzymes that catalyze reactions of two or more substrates work in a variety of ways that can be distinguished by kinetic analysis. Some enzymes bind their substrates in a fixed order others bind in random order. In some cases binding of one substrate gives a partial reaction before the second substrate binds. 

Enzymes often require multiple substrates to complete their catalytic cycle. This may involve combining two compounds into one molecule or transferring atoms or electrons from one substrate to another. The substrates may both bind to an enzyme and react collectively, or each substrate might bind, react, and release sequentially. With two substrates, if both bind to the enzyme, a ternary complex (ES S2) will form (Scheme 4.8). The order of substrate addition may be important (ordered) or not (random order). Cases in which the two substrates react sequentially follow a double-displacement, or ping-pong, mechanism (Scheme 4.9). Enzymes requiring more than two substrates have more complicated complexation pathways. 

Combining these observations, a mechanism can be proposed (Figure 6b) in which the reduced NiFe cluster A is involved in three steps the transfer of CH3 from the corrinoid/Fe-S protein, the binding of CO and formation of the CH3-CO bond, and the thioester bond of acetyl CoA. In the first stage of the assembly of acetyl CoA, CO and the methyl group can bind to the center in a random order. This is followed by the formation of an acetyl derivative. The CoA then binds to the enzyme and acetyl CoA is released. 

The sequential mechanisms can be subdivided in those which have a compulsory order and those which have a random order of S binding. These mechanisms are often described with the popular shorthand notation given by Cleland (1963), in which uni, bi, ter, etc, denote the number of S and P species. The /Cm values of the various reactants are concentration values at which half of the maxi-... 

The binding of two substrates A and B to an enzyme may occur in a compulsory order or in a random order. If one product (uni) is formed out of two substrates (bi), the corresponding mechanisms are the ordered bi-uni mechanism and the random bi-uni mechanism , respectively (water is not regarded as a substrate). 

The behavior of invertebrate and plant GDH s has been less extensively studied than that of the bovine enzyme. The question of compulsory order as opposed to random order binding, which has been resolved only with great difficulty for bovine GDH, has been investigated with only a few other GDH s. In each case, for Phycomycetes GDH (NAD) (S3S), GDH (NADP) of Brevibacterium flavum 30), soybean GDH (NAD), 7), and both the NAD- and NADP-dependent GDH s of Thio-bacillus novellm (33), compulsory order binding has been reported in which coenzyme binds first and NH4+ last. However, since the more refined methods employed for investigation of the mechanism of bovine GDH have not been applied to any of these systems, the question of random vs. ordered mechanism cannot be said to have been resolved, particularly since the methods thus far employed did not give decisive results with bovine GDH. 

In a sequential mechanism, on the other hand, such as is followed by most NAD(P) -linked dehydrogenases [42], the enzyme forms a ternary complex i.e. a complex containing the enzyme itself and both substrates. This allows for several further possibilities. There may be either random-order or compulsory-order binding. If there is a compulsory order of substrate addition and product release, there are 4 possible sequences ... 

Although resonance Raman [44] and fluorescence data [47] demonstrate that porphyrin binding can occur in the absence of metal, kinetic studies of bovine ferrochelatase appear to be consistent with an ordered bi-bi sequential mechanism, in which iron binding occurs prior to that of porphyrin [39, 42], In contrast, Labbe-Bois and Camadro [11] and Rossi et al. [48] proposed a random bi-bi mechanism in which each substrate binds randomly to the enzyme and the binding of the first substrate does not affect the binding of the second one. Which of these two proposed kinetic mechanisms is correct for ferrochelatase remains an open question.
