Abstract
It was shown in experiments with purified DNA-dependent RNA polymerases from calf thymus that the inhibition of these enzymes caused by thuringiensin is competitive with respect to ATP. Enzyme AI is more sensitive to the inhibitor (Ki = 0.34 μm) than enzyme B (Ki = 1.49 μm).This finding eliminates the discrepancies with respect to this subject which exist in literature.
