Synergistic inhibition of carboxypeptidase A by zinc ion and imidazole.

Abstract:

:Zinc ion in solution yields a 560-fold enhancement in the kinetic inhibition of carboxypeptidase A by the simple heterocycle imidazole, behavior attributed to formation of a ternary complex of the three species. However, the effect is partially negated by formation of less-inhibitory Zn2+(C3H4N2)2-4 coordination complexes, providing for the enzyme an anomalous profile of catalytic rate versus imidazole concentration.
