Popis: The proteinase from HIV undergoes rapid and irreversible deactivation caused by mild mechanical stirring. Both the free enzyme and the ternary Michaelis complex disappear in two separate first-order processes, with half-times of 3.0 and 0.8 minutes, respectively. Ignoring these deactivation steps distorts the results of kinetic analyses.
