An L-amino acid oxidase from Bothrops atrox venom was purified and its kinetic properties determinated. Purification procedure was carried out through two chromatography steps: a size exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-75, followed by an ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50. This enzyme had a molecular weight of 54.6 kDa calculated by SDS-PAGE. Between substrates assayed to pH 8.5, LAO had higher specific activity on L-phenilalanine followed by L-leucine, L-metionine and L-arginine. These were in a range of pH 6.9 to 9.6 being optimum values of 8.1 for L-metionine, 8.9 for L-arginine, and 8.2 for L-fenilalanine. Kinetics parameters (Km, Vmax, Kcat and Kcat/Km) for these L-amino acids were determinated at pH 7.5 and 8.5. According to catalytic efficiency, we found that L-leucine was the best substrate at pH 7.5 (Kcat/km same to 40.903 x 104 s-1 M-1) and 8.5 (Kcat/km same to 71.213 x 104 s-1 M-1). By the way, we evaluated enzyme inhibition at pH 8.5 using anthranilic, benzoic, salicylic and sulphanylic acid, determinating the best model of enzyme inhibition as well as Ki values. The minimal Ki value was for anthranilic acid Ki (0.0082 mM), fitting it to a non-competitive model. Benzoic acid was considered a competitive inhibitor, while salicylic and sulphanylic acid showed mixed-type inhibition.
