Kinetic studies on pancreatic lipase activity in micellar systems. I. Inhibition by sodium deoxycholate micelles.

Abstract
Pancreatic lipase activity toward vinyl laurate (VL) solubilized in sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) micelles was investigated kinetically. The inhibition by substrate-free NaDC micelles, M, was observed, and a Lineweaver-Burk plot and a plot of the reciprocal of initial rate vs. M indicated that the inhibition may be fully competitive or fully mixed inhibition, depending on the value adopted for the aggregation number of NaDC micelles. A fully competitive inhibition mechanism is indicated. Km and the inhibition constant, K4, which is the Kd of lipase-NaDC micelle complex, were estimated. Km indicates the lower limit of the Kd of lipase-NaDC micelle solubilizing VL, K1. The results are discussed in relation to the results of other studies on the inhibition of the enzyme by bile salts in emulsion systems.
