Abstract: The reactions between laccase and 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid have been studied by LKB-2107 batch microcalorimetry system at different temperatures and pH = 7.4.The rnolar reaction enthalpy (ΔrHm), the Michaelis constant (Km), the rate constant (k2), the laccase activity (EA), the binding energy (ΔG0), the activation Gibbs free energy (ΔGT),the actlvation energy(Ea) and the activation entropy (ΔST) have been determined.The results have been discussed from changes in free energy by using the transition state theory.The activation entropy (ΔST < 0) indicated that enzyme-substrate/transition structure is bound more orderly than enzyme-substrate complex.
