Abstract

Cytochrome P450 enzyme preparations were obtained from phenobarbital-treated rats.'On immobilization in Romicon PM 10 polysulfone anisotropic hollow fibers, 20-25% of the original activity remained. The immobilization procedure did not significantly alter the K(m) of the preparations when 7-ethoxycoumarin was the substrate. Coimmobilization of the preparations with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase allowed cofactor recycling to take place but resulted in an apparent drop in the value for the K(m). The V(max) of immobilized preparations with or without cofactor recycling was about 25% of that observed with the nonimmobilized preparations. The flow rate through the reactors greatly affected the time at which product was detected in the effluent from the reactor and the amount of 7-hydroxycoumarin produced. It is suggested that this reflects alternative fates of the NADPH cofactor when residence times in the reactor are lengthened. Increasing the amounts of protein immobilized increased the K(m) and decreased the V(max) values in comparison to the free enzyme. Immobilization increased the stability of preparations with respect to ionic strength and storage. Little effect was noted with regard to changes in temperature stability or pH optima of immobilized preparations.
