Distinguishing the order of product dissociation from human Icmt: Inhibition studies with the AFCME product. A. Lineweaver-Burk plot for the product inhibition of BFC methylation by AFCME at a fixed concentration of BFC. Assays were conducted in the presence of fixed [BFC] at 4 μM and either (◆) 0 μM, (□) 5 μM or (▲) 10 μM of AFCME at the indicated concentrations of AdoMet. Assays were conducted as described in the legend to Fig. 2. Data shown are the mean of duplicate determinations from a single experiment, and are representative to two such experiments. B. Lineweaver-Burk plot for the product inhibition of BFC methylation by AFCME at a fixed concentration of AdoMet. Assays were conducted in the presence of fixed [AdoMet] at 5 μM and either (◇) 0 μM, (■) 5 μM or (○)10 μM of AFCME at the indicated concentrations of BFC. Assays were conducted as described in the legend to Fig. 2. Data shown are the mean of duplicate determinations from a single experiment, and are representative to more two such experiments.
