A direct time-based ITC approach for substrate turnover measurements demonstrated on human FMO3

Abstract

Transient binding events are a challenging issue in enzymology. Here we demostrate a time-based ITC approach to human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3, an important drug metabolising enzyme. We measure kinetic constants and we demonstrate how this approach can be exploited for measuring the inhibiton of the conversion of the key substrate trimethylamine into trimethylamine N-oxide.
