Inhibition of branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BDK) by thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) was analyzed at two potassium ion (K⁺) concentrations. IC₅₀ values of 4.6 and 8.0 μM and inhibition constant values of 3.2 and 16.4 μM were obtained in the presence of 20 and 100 mM K⁺, respectively. These results suggest that BDK is less sensitive to TPP inhibition under physiological TPP and K⁺ concentrations.
