Site-to-site directed immobilization of enzymes with bis-NAD analogues.
Lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) and alcohol dehydrogenase (alcohol: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1) have been crosslinked with glutaraldehyde on agarose beads. The crosslinking was performed while the two enzymes were spatially arranged with their active sites facing one another with the aid of a bis-NAD analogue. Subsequently the bis-NAD analogue was allowed to diffuse out. By using a third enzyme, lipoamide dehydrogenase (NADH:lipoamide oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.4.3), which was also coupled to the same beads and which competes with lactate dehydrogenase for the NADH produced by alcohol dehydrogenase, the effect of site-to-site directed immobilization was studied. It was found that much more NADH than was theoretically expected (50% instead of 19% of produced NADH) was oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase, which indicates that the NADH was preferentially channeled to lactate dehydrogenase due to the juxtapositioned active sites of the two enzymes.
