Abstract：
:The influence of anionic groups on interaction of nucleophilic sulfur compounds with the purified hog liver flavin-containing monooxygenase was evaluated from kinetic constants obtained with various dithiobenzoates, thiolbenzoates, and thiolalkylcarboxylic acids. All compounds tested bearing a single negative charge localized on sulfur were excellent substrates but derivatives with a carboxylic acid group one or two carbons removed from the heteroatom exhibited low or no substrate activity. The effect of a carboxylic acid group more distal from sulfur appeared to depend on steric factors that are not well defined. For instance, none of the carboxylic acids (C2-C8) bearing a single thiol on the terminal carbon were oxygenated at detectable rates, whereas dihydrolipoic acid appeared to be a substrate although the concentration required for half-maximal activity was quite high (approximately 2 mM). Lipoic acid was a much better substrate (Km = 0.12 mM), and kinetic constants obtained with lipoic acid analogues suggest that position of the negative charge relative to the dithiolane ring is critical, since increasing the length of the side chain increased the Km. None of the alicyclic disulfides or sulfides containing one or more carboxylic acid groups showed detectable substrate activity. However, the more lipophilic sulfur-containing fatty acids inhibited the enzyme which may mask their potential substrate activity.
