Abstract

The inhibitive effects of chloride anion on the activity of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate-aminotransferase EC. 2.6.1.1.) from chicken (Gallus domesticus) and turkey (Maleagris gallopavo) were studied. Steady-state velocities were obtained from a wide range of chloride concentrations. The data were fitted by rational functions of 0:2 and 1:2 for chloride, using a non-linear regression program which guaranteed the fit. The goodness of fit was improved by the use of a computer program that combined model discrimination, parameter refinement and sequential design. It was concluded that chloride aspartate aminotransferase inhibition requires a minimum velocity equation of 1:2 with regard to chloride, and a plausible kinetic mechanism for this experimental result was proposed.

Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming

Cancer metabolic reprogramming is important for the rapid growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Cancer cells have the ability to change their metabolic demands depending on their environment, regulated by the activation of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor genes. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolic reprogramming.
