Inhibiting effect of tobacco smoke on some crystalline enzymes.

Tobacco smoke absorbed in phosphate buffer at neutral pH inhibits irreversibly the enzymes rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, whereas lactic dehydrogenase and glutamic dehydrogenase are not inhibited. A transient inhibition of beef liver catalase occurs. Indirect evidence suggests that the observed enzyme inhibition is caused by peroxides present in the smoke.
