  • Title: [Regulation of crystalline lens aldose reductase activity. Nonhyperbolic oxidation kinetics of NADPH by glucose].
    Author: Vartanov SS, Pavlov AR, Iaropolov AI.
    Journal: Biokhimiia; 1990 Nov; 55(11):2046-57. PubMed ID: 2128191.
    Abstract:
    A homogeneous aldose reductase was isolated from bovine eye lens tissue by using affinity chromatography on blue agarose. A kinetic analysis of the initial rates of NADPH oxidation at 0.5-100 mM glucose and at 1.2-10 microM NADPH was carried out. The Line-weaver-Burk plots for glucose concentration were nonlinear at fixed concentrations of NADPH and linear at fixed concentrations of glucose. It was shown that the experimental plots reflect the mechanisms, in which substrate regulation of enzyme activity is effectuated by glucose binding to the regulatory site or is due to the shift of the equilibrium between the isomeric forms of aldose reductase.
