Abstract The inhibition of alkaline phosphatase from green crab (Scylla serrata) by L-cysteine has been studied. The results show that L-cysteine gives a mixed-type inhibition. The progress-of-substrate-reaction method previously described by Tsou [(1988), Adv. Enzymol. Related Areas Mol. Biol. 61, 391–436] was used to study the inactivation kinetics of the enzyme by L-cysteine. The microscopic rate constants were determined for reaction of the inhibitor with the free enzyme and the enzyme–substrate complex (ES) The results show that inactivation of the enzyme by L-cysteine is a slow, reversible reaction. Comparison of the inactivation rate constants of free enzyme and ES suggests that the presence of the substrate offers marked protection of this enzyme against inactivation by L-cysteine.
