Biochemical properties and inhibition kinetics of the phosphatase were Investigated using several Ions, organlc solvents, and Inhlbltors. Wheat （Trltlcum aestivum L. cv. PH82-2-2） thylakold membrane phosphatase activity was activated by Mg^2＋, Ca^2＋, and Fe^2＋ and was inhibited by Mn^2＋ and Cu^2＋. For example, enzyme activity was acUvated 34.81% by 2 mmol/l. Mg^2＋, but was Inhibited 22.3% and 8.5% by 2 and 1 mmol/L Cu^2＋, respectively. Methanol, ethanol and glycol were all able to activate enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was activated 58.5%, 48.2%, and 8.7% by 40% ethanol, methanol and glycol, respectively. From these results, It can be seen that the degree of actlvetlon of the phosphetase was greatest for ethanol and the type of acUvatlon was uncompetltlve. Moreover, the activity of the thylakold membrane phosphetase was Inhibited by molybdate, vanadete, phosphate, and fluoride and the type of Inhibition produced by these elements was uncompetltlve, non-competitive, competltlve and mixed, respectively.展开更多
