Inhibition of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase in rat liver submitochondrial particles by dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide and butanedione

Biochem J. 1983 Mar 1;209(3):889-92. doi: 10.1042/bj2090889.

Abstract

Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase in rat liver submitochondrial particles is inhibited by treatment with NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide or butane-2,3-dione. Both inhibitions are pseudo-first-order with respect to enzyme activity. The reaction order with respect to inhibitor is close to unity for butanedione, but is significantly lower than unity for dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide.
