Abstract
Abstract The activity of leukocyte alkaline phosphatase is inhibited by a number of amino acids, most notably cysteine and histidine. The mechanism of this inhibition involves chelation of Zn2+ by the amino acids, as indicated by the complete reversal of the inhibition by added Zn2+. The concentrations of amino acids and Zn2+ required to affect the enzyme activity are such that their interaction might represent an in vivo mechanism for the control of leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity.
