Abstract
Competitive inhibitors of d-amino acid oxidase decrease inactivation of the oxidase by oxygen, but do not protect the protein component of the oxidase against the inactivation. This implies interaction between the inhibitors and oxidase that does not occur between the inhibitors and catalytic protein. The order of effect of the inhibitors on the inactivation of the oxidase and oxidase activity is the same. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that in the formation of the ternary complex of catalytic protein, flavine nucleotide, and inhibitor, the initial, obligatory step is the formation of the oxidase.
