Abstract
The kinetics of ATP-induced phosphorylation and K+ binding of Na,K-ATPase has been investigated at different pressures by applying the fluorescence stopped-flow method. For both type of reactions, a conformational transition is considered to act as rate-limiting reaction step. These transitions are characterized by large activation volumes up to +100 ml mol−1. The significance of the determined values in terms of Kramers’ theory is discussed. A molecular interpretation related to solvation changes and cavity formation in the transmembrane domain of the protein is suggested. A large negative reaction volume is found upon ATP binding (—100 ml mol−1). The selective binding of Na+ and K+ leads to smaller, but positive values.
