Theory and Application of the Relationship Between Steady-State Isotope Effects on Enzyme Intermediate Concentrations and Net Rate Constants.
Steady-state kinetic isotope effects on enzyme-catalyzed reactions are often interpreted in terms of the microscopic rate constants associated with the elementary reactions of interest. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to confusion, especially when more than one elementary reaction is isotopically sensitive, because it forces one to consider the full catalytic cycle one step at a time rather than as a complete whole. Herein we argue that shifting focus from intrinsic effects to net rate constants and enzyme intermediate concentrations provides a more natural and holistic interpretation by which the effects of partial rate limitation are more easily understood. In doing so, we demonstrate how the experimental determination of isotope effects on enzyme intermediate concentrations allows a direct determination of isotope effects on net rate constants. The chapter is divided into three main sections. The first outlines the basic theory and its interpretation. The second discusses an application of the theory in the study of the radical SAM enzyme DesII. The final section then provides the complete mathematical treatment.
