Resumen
A cell-free system derived from Dictyostelium discoideum has been used to study the kinetics of inhibition of RNase P by puromycin, amicetin and blasticidin S. Detailed kinetic analysis showed that the type of inhibition of RNase P activity by puromycin is simple competitive, whereas the type of inhibition by amicetin and blasticidin S is simple non-competitive. On the basis of Ki values amicetin is stronger inhibitor than puromycin and blasticidin S.
