The interactions of CL4, a biomimetic analogue of NAD + comprising a nicotinamide functionality coupled via a triazine ring to a dibenzenesulphonic acid unit, and of a series of analogues, with HLADH and other dehydrogenases have been compared to those of the natural coenzymes NAD(P) + . CL4, together with one analogue with one of the sulphonic acid groups shifted by one position and another analogue with a single benzenedisulphonic acid unit, have been shown to be functional mimics of NAD + in the oxidation of butan-1-ol by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH). A combination of discontinuous HPLC-based assays and continuous fluorescence based assays were used to deduce approximate kinetic constants for this reaction, using the artificial coenzymes, at pH 7.5 and 37°C. HLADH demonstrated a V max with the most active analogue which was 4% of that with NAD + . The substrate specificity of HLADH using these coenzymes was found to change relative to that using the natural coenzyme. Activity was sought from a range of other dehydrogenases: Bacillus megaterium glucose dehydrogenase, Leuconostoc mesenteroides glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and sheep liver sorbitol dehydrogenase; all displayed activity using a range of the biomimetic coenzymes. |
