Popis: The effect of inhibitors on the azo-reduction of 4′-dimethylaminoazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid (DMABC) by Clostridium diaphorase together with β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH) has been investigated. The reduction was inhibited by o-aminobenzoic acid which is a reduction product of DMABC. Lineweaver–Burk plots indicated that o-aminobenzoic acid was a competitive inhibitor with respect to DMABC (Ki = 10.5 × 10−3 mol dm−3). Various monosubstituted benzoic acid derivatives were also competitive inhibitors, among which o-hydroxybenzoic acid was most effective.
