Abstract: | Na+, K+-ATPase was isolated from calf heart. The specific activity was measured by a spectrophotometric method which allowed continual monitoring of the reaction. Ouabain-induced inhibition of the enzyme system was shown to be both temperature and time-dependent. [3H]Ouabain binding in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, Na+ and K+ was shown to be time-dependent. A direct temporal correlation between ouabain binding and inhibition of specific activity of the enzyme system was demonstrated. The effects of K+ and ouabain reinforce the allosteric nature of the Na+, K+-ATPase. |
