values typically exceeding 1 s−1. The Km values for nicotinamide are low and in the range of 2 −110 μM. Nicotinaldehyde was determined to be a potent competitive inhibitor of these enzymes, binding in the low micromolar to low nanomolar range for all nicotinamidases tested. A variety of nicotinaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors in kinetic assays. Inhibitions are consistent
烟酰胺酶是将烟酰胺
水解为
烟酸的代谢酶。这些酶在
生物学中广泛分布,例如在分枝杆菌、古细菌、真细菌、原生动物、酵母和无脊椎动物的
基因组中发现了编码,但在哺乳动物中没有发现。尽管最近的结构工作提高了我们对这些酶的理解,但它们的催化机制仍不清楚。最近的数据表明,烟酰胺酶是几种病原微
生物的生长和毒力所必需的。Saccharomyces cerevisiae、Drosophila melanogaster和Caenorhabditis elegans的酶调节它们各自
