“…As the first product to be released shows linear noncompetitive inhibition and the second product linear competitive inhibition it can be suggested that P, is released before ADP (Hsu et al 1966), This is in agreement with the findings from kinetic studies of a microsomal brain preparation (Hexum et al 1970), Contrariwise most investigations of animal NaK ATPases where labelling technique has been used propose a mechanism where one or two phosphorylated complexes are involved and where ADP is released before P. (Post et al 1965, Sen et al 1969, Lindenmayer et al 1968, Peter and Wolf 1972, Schoner et al, (1966), however, suggested that if the stable acylphosphate exists, this phosphate intermediate would not participate in the Na and K 1,0 1,5 (MgATP) Figure 6, ADP and AMP release at different MgATP concentrations (in mM) in presence or absence of'5 mM /",, In the upper part of tiie figure v is expressed in /imol ADP x (mg protein x min)"' and in the lower part in //mol AMP x (mg protein x min)"'.…”
