Organic Chemistry Forum / Finding the max velocity and MM-Constant of glucose oxidase in literature
« Last post by stw.1994 on April 16, 2024, 09:29:55 AM »Hi. I am attempting to determine the Kinetic parameters of glucose oxidase, specifically max velocity and MM-Constant. I have already conducted an experiment using a colorimetric assay added to different concentrations of glucose along an electron donor (2'-2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS)), and a spectrometer to determine the absorption (which should be linear to the concentration of the colorimetric assay). I am attempting to compare my derived max velocity and MM-Constant in literature.
I had assumed it would be trivial. It was not. So far, I have exhausted the methods I know to locate information on the max velocity and MM-constant. Searching for academic literature or technical documentation on Google, Google Scholar, IEEE XPlore has yielded me many other elements in glucose oxidase, but not max velocity and MM-Constant. Going through the datasheets of glucose oxidase from suppliers such as Sigma-Aldritch fails to provide me with the numbers. I don't know what other avenues I should explore, so I've come here.
