We have used ribonuclease T1 and its chemically modified derivatives as substrates, and trypsin as proteinase, to investigate the kinetics of proteolysis of a specific peptide bond in the folded and unfolded conformations of a protein. Steady-state kinetic studies showed that Km = 0.27 mM and Kcat. = 2.45 s-1 for the tryptic hydrolysis of the Arg(77)-Val(78) peptide bond in unfolded ribonuclease T1. This Km is somewhat lower than, and the kcat. value similar to, values found for the tryptic hydrolysis of comparable bonds in small peptides. Our data for the initial velocity of hydrolysis of the Arg(77)-Val(78) bond in a solution of the folded protein indicate that the bond is at least 1700 times less rapidly hydrolysed in the folded than in the unfolded conformation of ribonuclease T1, and do not exclude the possibility that the bond is completely resistant to hydrolysis in the folded protein.

1. A review of the applicability of Schütz's Law to enzymic reactions is given. 2. The theoretical deductions of the Law, (a) on the basis of the law of mass action, (b) on the basis of the adsorption theory, are given and the significance of the assumptions made in these deductions pointed out. 3. It is shown that the true critical increment for an enzymic reaction is equal to twice the critical increment calculated from the Schütz constant ks, if the heat of decomposition of the enzyme-products complex be neglected. 4. Experiments are described on the tryptic hydrolysis of casein at 30°C. and 404C. The foregoing considerations are applied to the experimental results obtained.

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of succinic acid monomethyl and monopropyl esters were studied in mixed aqueous-nonaqueous media at various temperatures and ionic strengths. The results of measurements are discussed in terms of electrostatic and specific interactions between the reactants and other components of the reaction mixture. The kinetic parameters in the media under study are related to the influence of the cosolvent on the solvation sphere of the reactants.

Glycerol causes chemical oscillations in Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction in a closed system as well as in a reaction solution bubbled with nitrogen. Since the oxidation of glycerol with bromate ions does not proceed autocatalytically and bromine in the oxidation state 0 or +1 in the absence of light does not react with glycerol, hydrolysis of bromine is the probable source of bromide ions in the studied oscillation system.
