Abstract:

The power-time curves of reaction between bromelain and soybean protein were determined using microcalorimeter. Using the thermodynamic theory and reduced extent method, the Michaelis constant(Km) and the maximum velocity(Vmax) of catalytic reaction were obtained at different temperatures and pH values, and the equations from the relation between Km and temperatures(Km-T), and pH values(Km-pH) were established. Based on the established equations, the optimum temperature(314.63 K) and the optimum pH(6.99) were gained. Under the optimum temperature and pH, the power-time curves of catalytic reaction with metal ions were obtained, and the apparent Michaelis constant(Km') and the maximum reaction velocity(Vmax') were gained. The relations between the Km' and the contents of metal ions were established. Compared with the Km and Vmax, the activation or inhibition effect of metal ions on enzymatic reaction could be known.
