1. The isolation of trimethylamine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.7) from a restricted facultative methylotroph to electrophoretic homogeneity is described. 2. The molecular weight and subunit molecular weights were found to be 146800 for the enzyme by sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation and 70000-80000 for the two non-identical subunits by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. 3. Initial velocity studies indicate that the enzymatic reaction proceeds by a Ping-Pong mechanism. 4. Further kinetic evidence was obtained by analysis of product inhibition patterns using the alternate substrate diethylamine and the products acetaldehyde and ethylamine as product inhibitors, for the release of ethylamine before the addition of phenazine methosulphate and for the existence of an enzyme-two-carbon unit complex as a stable form of the enzyme. 5. Some properties of the unusual prosthetic group of trimethylamine dehydrogenase and its photodegradation product are described in preliminary form.
