    The enzyme reaction mechanism and kinetics for biosyntheses of deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) and deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) from the corresponding deoxycytidine diphosphate (dCDP) and deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP) catalyzed by pyruvate kinase were studied. The kinetic model for the two synthetic reactions was found to follow the Bi–Bi random rapid equilibrium mechanism similar to that of the biosynthesis of deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) and deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) from the corresponding deoxyadenosine diphosphate (dADP) and deoxyguanosine diphosphate (dGDP). Kinetic constants involved in the reactions including the maximum reaction velocity, the Michaelis–Menten constants, and the inhibition constants for dCTP and dTTP biosyntheses were experimentally determined. This enzyme reaction requires Mg2+ ion and the optimal Mg2+ concentration was also determined. The experimental results showed a good agreement with the simulation results obtained from the kinetic model developed. The kinetics of the four biosynthetic reactions for deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTP) including dATP, dGTP, dCTP, and dTTP from the corresponding deoxynucleoside diphosphates (dNDP) including dADP, dGDP, dCDP, and dTDP were analyzed. The results suggest that the binding kinetics of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and pyruvate are similar for all four biosynthetic reactions. The affinity of the dNDP substrates to enzyme is of the same order of magnitude as the corresponding dNTP as inhibitors. The order of reactivity and substrate specificity for dNDP is dADP > dGDP > dCDP > dTDP in the pyruvate kinase (PK) reactions. The results obtained from this study can be applied to bioreactor design and production of dCTP and dTTP for biosynthesis of DNA at a significantly lower cost compared to the currently available chemical method.
