摘要: We studied the effects of methylcobalamin alone and with various reducing systems (FADH2, FAD or its analogues in combination NADH β-mercaptoethanol) on activity partially purified aromatic alkylamine N-methyltransferase (AANMT) from rat brain. As expected, specific AANMT presence was enhanced (125% control). Surprisingly, (but not FADH2 et cetera) it 175% control; int plus β-mercaptoethanol reached 307% control. Preliminary evidence suggests that induces allosteric kinetics for activated enzyme respect to methyl donor 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF).
