    Abstract:
    L-Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) of the Rhodotorula aurantiaca strain KM-1 deaminates L-phenylalanine according to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics with K(M) = 1.75 +/- 0.44 mM and V(max) = 3.01 +/- 0.43 units/mg. The enzyme is competitively inhibited by D-phenylalanine with K(in) = 3.38 +/- 0.32 mM. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics was analyzed, the inhibition type (competitive, noncompetitive, and mixed) was identified, and corresponding kinetic parameters were calculated using the computer programs written in Gauss 4.0. PAL was most stable at pH 6.55 and lacked approximately 50% of its activity after incubation at 57 degrees C for 15 min. The yield of L-phenylalanine increased in the presence of mercaptoethanol, sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), and ascorbic acid. The effects of EDTA and ascorbic acid were additive.
