The transfer of metabolite from one glycolytic enzyme (E,) to another (E,) without prior dissociation into the aqueous environment has now been demonstrated for a variety of enzyme pairs. In every case, the rate of E2-catalysed utilization of EIMl follows a hyperbolic (Michaelian) dependence on the El-Ml concentration, indicating the transfer of metabolite (MI) via the formation of an El-Ez complex. In every example of the direct transfer mechanism between El and E,. we have uncovered that both enzymes exist in at least two distinct conformations dependent on the state of ligation; the chemical transformation ES+ EP is usually coupled to the conformational interconversion. Evidence is presented that E, recognizes El MI whereas E2M, recognizes E,. The concentration of glycolytic enzymes in vivo usually exceeds the concentration of their affine substrate ligands. Thus a dynamic system of metabolite transfer via enzymeenzyme interaction may be set up in muscle. Evidence is presented indicating that the distribution of MI between El and E2 in the E, E2 complex is nearly equal. The direct transfer process is optimally facilitated when ES and EP are of equal free energy, consistent with the observations but not the theory of Albery & Knowles [12]. Available thermodynamic data indicate that a substantial fraction of the potential energy of glycolysis is stored in the form of glycolytic enzyme substrate complexes rather than dissipated by the total conversion of sugar to lactate. It is proposed that the utilization of pyruvate or lactate regulates the flux through glycolysis in vivo.
