The thionicotinamide analogues of NAD+ and NADP+ were good alternative coenzymes for bovine glutamate dehydrogenase, with similar affinity and .apprx. 40% of the Kmax obtained with the natural coenzymes. Both thionicotinamide analogues show non-linear Lineweaver-Burk plots, which with the natural coenzymes were attributed to negative cooperativity. Since the reduced thionicotinamide analogues have an isosbestic point at 340 nm and have an absorption maximum at 400 nm, it is possible to monitor reduction of natural coenzyme and thionicotinamide analogue simultaneously by dual-wavelength spectroscopy. When glutamate dehydrogenase is presented with NAD+ and thio-NADP+ simultaneously, the enzyme oligomer senses saturation of its coenzyme-binding sites irrespective of the exact nature of the coenzyme and locks the oligomer into its highly saturated form even when low saturation of the monitored coenzyme is present. These experiments substantiate the suggestion that glutamate dehydrogenase shows negative cooperativity in its catalytically active form.
