Abstract：
:Pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetics for the p.p. elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of ZAlaONp, one of the most favourable substrates for this serine protease, have been studied between pH 4.0 and 8.0. The results are consistent with the minimum three-step mechanism: (formula; see text) Under pre-steady-state conditions, where [E0] much greater than [S0], the values of the dissociation constant of the E X S complex (Ks = k-1/k+1) and of the individual rate constants for the catalytic steps (k+2 and k+3) have been determined over the whole pH range explored. Under steady-state conditions, where [S0] much greater than [E0], the values of kcat and Km have been obtained over the same pH range. The pH profiles of k+2, k+3, k+2/Ks, kcat, kcat/Km reflect the ionization of a group, probably His57, with a pKa value of 6.85 +/- 0.10. The values of Ks and Km are pH independent. The steady-state parameters for the p.p. elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of a number of p-nitrophenyl esters of N-alpha-carbobenzoxy-L-amino acids have been also determined between pH 4.0 and 8.0 and compared with those of b.beta-trypsin and b.alpha-chymotrypsin. For all the substrates examined the acylation step (k+2) is rate limiting in the p.p. elastase catalysis, between pH 4.0 and 8.0. The different catalytic behaviours of p.p. elastase, b.beta-trypsin and b.alpha-chymotrypsin are consistent with the known three-dimensional structures of these serine proteases.
