Kinetic theory of dissociating enzyme systems has been applied to a study of the dimer-tetramer interconversion of glycogen phosphorylase a. All kinetic constants for the dissociating-associating reaction of phosphorylase a have been determined. The results indicate that (a) the presence of glucose-1-phosphate has no influence on either the rate of dissociation or the rate of association, and hence does not shift the dimer-tetramer equilibrium of phosphorylase a; (b) the binding of glycogen to the enzyme decreases the association rate of the dimer to form the tetramer, but has no effect on the dissociation rate of the tetramer; (c) both the dimeric and tetrameric form of phosphorylase a can bind glycogen, but the tetrameric form has a lower affinity for glycogen and is catalytically inactive.
