1. Steady-state kinetic parameters for the β-galactosidase-catalysed hydrolysis of 13 aryl β-d-galactopyranosides show no simple dependence on aglycone acidity. 2. α-Deuterium kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD) for seven of these substrates, measured under steady-state conditions with [S]»Km, vary from 1.00 for poor substrates to 1.25 for hydrolysis of the galactosyl-enzyme. 3. Methanolysis of the galactosyl-enzyme in 1.5m-methanol increases KH/kD for degalactosylation, but leaves that for hydrolysis of ‘slow’ substrates unchanged. 4. These data are incompatible with a simple two-step mechanism. A scheme consisting of a conformation change, liberation of a galactopyranosyl cation in an intimate ion-pair, non-productive but preferential collapse of the ion-pair to a covalent species and reaction of the galactosyl enzyme through the ion-paired form is proposed. 5. This scheme is used to rationalize previously puzzling data about the enzyme mechanism.

Secondary kinetic deuterium isotope effects are presented for the reaction of methyl-d3 iodide and pyridine in four different solvents. Calculations on mass and moment of inertia change with deuteration in the initial state and an assumed tetrahedral transition state, together with internal rotational effects, are used to rationalize the inverse isotope effects. It is concluded from the variation of the isotopic rate ratio, that the transition state structure varies with solvent.
