Abstract

1. 1.|The holoenzyme of d-amino acid oxidase [ d-amino acid: O 2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.3] was found to combine with l-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate without liberation of its coenzyme, FAD. No energy transfer interaction was found to occur between the bound dye and FAD of the holoenzyme. On the other hand, when the apoenzyme was bound to the dye and then to FAD, energy transfer interaction between the bound dye and bound FAD was observed. In both cases, the dye competes with the substrate, d-alanine. It is concluded that the dye bound to the holoenzyme is oriented in such a special manner that the mutual orientation factor between the dye and FAD becomes very small in magnitude. 2. 2.|When the apoenzyme combined with the dye, the monomer-dimer equilibrium of the apoenzyme shifted towards the dimer. On the other hand, 4-monobenzoylamido-4′-aminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonate combined with the apoenzyme to induce monomerization.
