Catalyzed Oxidation

In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ?C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.

A method derived from the analysis of viscosity effects on the hydrolysis of the amide substrates D-phenylalanylpipecolyl-arginine-p-nitroaniline, tosylglycylprolylarginine-p-nitroanaline and cyclohexylglycylalanylarginine-p-nitroalanine by human alpha-thrombin was developed to dissect the Michaelis-Menten parameters Km and kcat into the individual rate constants of the binding, acylation and deacylation reactions. This method was used to analyse the effect of the C-terminal hirudin (residues 54-65) [hir-(54-65)] domain on the binding and hydrolysis of the three substrates. The results showed that the C-terminal hir-(54-65) fragment affects only the acylation rate, which is increased approx. 1.2-fold for all the substrates. Analysis of the dependence of acylation rate constants on hirudin-fragment concentration, allowed the determination of the equilibrium binding constant of C-terminal hir-(54-65) (Kd approximately 0.7 microM). In addition this peptide was found to competitively inhibit thrombin-fibrinogen interaction with a Ki which is in excellent agreement with the equilibrium constant derived from viscosity experiments. These results demonstrate that binding of hir-(54-65) to the fibrinogen recognition site of thrombin does not affect the equilibrium binding of amide substrates, but induces only a small increase in the acylation rate of the hydrolysis reaction.

Hydrolysis Of

Hydrolyses of 2-ethylidene-(1b), 2-isopropylidene-(1c), and 2-benzylidene-1,3-dithiolane (1d) were kinetically investigated in aqueous solution. All the individual rate constants involved in this three-step reaction were evaluated. Initial carbon protonation is only partially reversible (k2/k−1 = 1.33, 0.68, and 1.02 for 1b, 1c, and 1d, respectively) at higher pH, while the protonation becomes completely reversible below pH 2 where the third step is rate determining. Complete H–D isotope exchange at the β-carbon of 1b and 1d was observed in deuterium media before appreciable hydrolysis took place. It was demonstrated that reversion from the tetrahedral intermediate 3 to 1 occurs extensively during the reaction in the latter acidity range. Relative stabilities and reactivities of the olefinic substrates 1 are discussed.
