14. DTT is the volume of solution occupied by one DTT molecule, based on the external concentration).
15. At high concentrations of DTT(cis), the reduction in rate most likely arises from depletion of DTNB(trans) by reaction with DTT that has reached the trans unstirred layer.
16. To check whether the intermediate 2 was indeed formed from DTT, we carried out several controls. For example, in the absence of DTT, the reaction proceeded through the first step, but remained there indefinitely (> 60 s; Figure 2 a, upper trace). Further, when DTT was replaced with 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol (βME, cis), a monothiol, the reaction took a different course. The first step with DTNB (50 μM, trans) was observed as before, but it was followed by a step to a level where the system remained for a prolonged period (>60s), which was distinct from the level representing 2. We interpret the sequence as cleavage of 1 with βME to generate a mixed disulfide that reacts relatively slowly with a second molecule of βME.
