Widely different method have been used to assay lipoamide dehydrogenase in tissues from patients with neurological diseases. We have re-examined conditions of assay in homogenized human platelets in the light of results of optimal and inhibitory conditions others have found for the purified pig and rat liver enzymes. Optimal conditions in homogenized platelets for the forward, physiological direction were pH 8.0, 2-4 mmol/l dihydrolipoamide and 1.6-2 mmol/l NAD+ and for the reverse reaction, pH 7.3, 1.2-2 mmol/l lipoamide and 0.125-0.2 mmol/l NADH. Km values by the Lineweaver-Burke method were approximately 420 mumol/l dihydrolipoamide, 180 mumol/l NAD+, 600 mumol/l lipoamide and 27 mumol/l NADH. The optimal conditions and Km values are similar to those reported for the purified pig and rat enzymes. Assays by the present methods should therefore reflect the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase and not the effects of substrate or cofactor inhibition nor the effects of other, interfering enzyme activities. |
