Several esters of the α-N-toluene-p-sulphonyl and α-N-benzoyl derivatives of S-(3-aminopropyl)-l-cysteine and the methyl ester of S-(4-aminobutyl)-N-toluene-p-sulphonyl-l-cysteine were synthesized. The kinetics of hydrolysis of these and esters of the α-N-toluene-p-sulphonyl and α-N-benzoyl derivatives of l-arginine, l-lysine, S-(2-aminoethyl)-l-cysteine and esters of γ-guanidino-l-α-toluene-p-sulphonamidobutyric acid and α-N-toluene-p-sulphonyl-l-homoarginine by α- and β-trypsin were compared. On the basis of values of the specificity constants (kcat./Km), the two enzymes display similar catalytic efficiency towards some substrates. In other cases α-trypsin is less efficient than β-trypsin. It is possible that α-trypsin possesses greater molecular flexibility than β-trypsin.

1. Several esters of the alpha-N-toluene-p-sulphonyl and N-benzoyl derivatives of l-lysine and S-(beta-aminoethyl)-l-cysteine have been synthesized. 2. The kinetics of hydrolysis of the esters by bovine trypsin have been compared. Values of k(0) are similar for corresponding derivatives of the isosteric amino acids and deacylation of an acyl-enzyme appears to be rate-determining in each case. There are, however, some quantitative kinetic differences between the various series of substrates.

The effects of subsite interactions in the S2-S4 region [Schechter & Berger (1967) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 27, 157-162] of porcine pancreatic kallikrein (EC 3.4.21.8) on its catalytic efficiency have been investigated. Kinetic constants (Kcat, Km) have been determined for a series of seven extended N-aminoacyl-L-arginine methyl esters whose sequence is based on either the C-terminal sequence of kallidin (-Pro-Phe-Arg) or (-Gly-)nArg. With these substrates it has been found that neither acylation nor deacylation of the enzyme is rate-limiting. Values of Kcat. range from 21.5 to 2320s-1, indicating that there are interactions with different residues in the N-aminoacyl chain and enzyme subsites in the S2-S4 region. It is shown that possible hydrogen-bonded interactions with the enzyme in the S3-S4 region have a significant effect on catalysis. The presence of L-phenylalanine at P2 has a very large effect on both Kcat, and Km, giving a greatly enhanced catalytic efficiency. Substrates with L-proline at P3 also have a marked effect, but in this case the overall effect is one of lowered catalytic efficiency. By comparison with the results of a similar study with human plasma kallikrein I (EC 3.4.21.8), it has been possible to demonstrate that there are considerable differences in kinetic behaviour between the two enzymes. These are related to relative differences in the rates of acylation and deacylation with ester substrates and also the roles of subsites S2 and S3 of the two enzymes.

AbstractThe kinetics of hydrolysis of new, NG-protected 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzene-sulphonyl (6). 4-methoxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzenesulphonyl (12) and phenanthrene-3-sulphonyl (17) Fmoc derivatives of L-arginine (1) in comparison with commercially available Fmoc-Arg(Mtr)-OH (Mtr = 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-benzenesulphonyl (2)) are studies. The acid lability of the arylsulphonyl group is decreasing as follows Mtr > Tip > Mtbs > Phen. The effect of electron- donating alkyl groups as substituents in increasing the acid lability of the arylsulphonyl residue seems to be in the order of methyl > isopropyl > tert-butyl while the effect of extended derealization does not appreciably increase the acid lability.

AbstractThe interaction of [Pd(DAP)(H2O)2]2+ (DAP = 1,3-diaminopropane) with some selected bio-relevant ligands, containing different functional groups, were investigated. The ligands used are dicarboxylic acids, amino acids, peptides and DNA constituents. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed are reported at 25°C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The results show the formation of 1:1 complexes with amino acids and dicarboxylic acids. The effect of chelate ring size of the dicarboxylic acid complexes on their stability constants is examined. Peptides form both 1:1 complexes and the corresponding deprotonated amide species. DNA constituents form 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. The effect of dioxane on the acid dissociation constants of CBDCA and the formation constant of its complex with Pd(DAP)2+ was reported. The kinetics of hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester bound to [Pd(DAP)(H2O)2]2+ was studied at 25°C and 0.1M ionic strength.
