RESUMO
A single catalytic site model is proposed to account for the multiphasic kinetics of oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1). This model involves nonproductive binding of substrate to sites near the catalytic site on cytochrome c oxidase for cytochrome c, decreasing the binding constant for cytochrome c at the catalytic site. This substrate inhibition results in an increase in the first-order rate constant for the dissociation of the ferricytochrome c-cytochrome c oxidase complex, the rate-limiting step in the steady-state turnover of electrons between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase in the spectrophotometric assay, yielding increases in the initial rate as well as the Michaelis constant--namely, multiple kinetic phases.
