Prawn （P. vannamei） NAGase is involved in digestion and molting processes. Some pollutants in seawater affect the enzyme activity causing loss of the biological function of the enzyme, which affects the exuviating shell and threatens the survival of the animal. The effect of formaldehyde on prawn （P. vannamei） β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activity for the hydrolysis of pNP-NAG has been studied. The results show that formaldehyde, at appropriate concentrations, can lead to reversible inactivation of the enzyme, and the IC50 is estimated to be 1.05mol· L^-1. The inactivation mechanism obtained from Lineweaver-Burk plots shows that the inactivation of the enzyme by formaldehyde belongs to the competitive type. The inactivation kinetics of the enzyme by formaldehyde has been studied using the progress-of-substrate-reaction method described by Tsou, and the rate constants have been determined. The results show that k＋0 is much larger than k-0, indicating the free enzyme molecule is fragile in the formaldehyde solution.展开更多
