Investigation of the coenzyme binding site of lactate dehydrogenase was approached by using coenzyme analogs. Inhibition studies of this enzyme using n-alkylphosphates as coenzyme analogs were performed with a fluorometric method. The results showed that all of the n-alkylphosphates were competitive inhibitors with respect to NAD+.
The n-alkyl-ADPs were synthesized from AMP and dicycloheaylammonium salts of n-alkylphosphates. The synthetic compounds were subjected to NMR spectroscopic studies, thin layer chromatography and determination of the ratio of adenosine moiety to phosphate groups. The results indicated that the synthetic compounds were n-alkyl-ADPs.
These synthetic compounds were used as coenzyme analogs in …
