Abstract
p-Aminohippurate synthesis was investigated in mouse liver suspensions. It was found to be an age-dependent reaction with minimal activity in the neonatal period and adult values attained at 1 month of age. Sodium salicylate strongly inhibited the reaction; this inhibition was not suppressed by K or Mg ions. Kinetic studies indicated that the salicylate inhibition of p-aminohippurate synthesis is competitive in nature. Developmental kinetic experiments disclosed slightly different Km values in young versus adult animals; however, Ki values at 7 and 68 days differed markedly.
