Summary
The effect of specific ligands (the substrate glucose 1-phosphate, AMP, and flavins) on the initial rate of tryptic digestion of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b has been studied (0.02 M HEPES, pH 6.8; 37°C). Differences were observed between the kinetic curves of the enzyme trypsinolysis initiated by the addition of a trypsin/ligand mixture and once trypsin was added to the enzyme preincubated with a ligand for 10 min. It was suggested that the specific ligands studied induce relatively slow conformational changes in the phosphorylase b molecule.
