Non-linear rates of acetylene reduction and concomitant H2 evolution were observed for the nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae at 10 degrees C. A lag phase of 1-4 min, dependent on the ratio of Mo-Fe protein to Fe protein present, occurred before linear rates of acetylene reduction were achieved. A complementary burst phase for concomitant H2 evolution in the presence of acetylene was also observed. When the proton was the only reducible substrate present, linear rates of H2 evolution were observed. N2 was a poor substrate under these conditions. Similar lag and burst phases occurred at 30 degrees C, but only when a large molar excess of Mo-Fe protein with respect to Fe protein was present. The results at 10 degrees C show that the binding of acetylene to the enzyme stimulates electron flow, but that these electrons, which initially reduce protons, can only reduce acetylene after a lag phase that cannot be accommodated in the turnover time calculated under steady-state conditions.
