Several cellular processes are regulated by interfacial catalysis on biomembrane surfaces. Phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) are interesting not only as prototypes for interfacial catalysis, but also because they mobilize precursors for the biosynthesis of eicosanoids and platelet activating factor, and these agents ultimately control a wide range of secretory and inflammatory processes. Since PLA(2) carry out their catalytic function at membrane surfaces, the kinetics of these enzymes depends on what the enzyme 'sees' at the interface, and thus the observed rate is profoundly influenced by the organization and dynamics of the lipidwater interface ('quality of the interface'). In this review we elaborate the advantages of monitoring interfacial catalysis in the scooting mode, that is, under the conditions where the enzyme remains bound to vesicles for several thousand catalytic turnover cycles. Such a highly processive catalytic turnover in the scooting mode is useful for a rigorous and quantitative characterization of the kinetics of interfacial catalysis. This analysis is now extended to provide insights into designing strategy for PLA(2) assays and screens for their inhibitors.
