Low-barrier hydrogen bonds and enzymatic catalysis.

Abstract:

:Short, strong (low barrier) hydrogen bonds occur when the pK values of the atoms sharing the proton are similar. The overall distance is 2.5 A or less, the deuterium fractionation factor is less than 0.5, the proton NMR chemical shift can approach 20 ppm, and deuterium or tritium substitution causes an up-field change in the chemical shift. Such bonds can have deltaH values of 25 kcal/mol in the gas phase, and at least half that in water or other high-dielectric medium. The strength of the hydrogen bond in an active site drops by approximately 1 kcal/mol for each pH unit mismatch in pKs. When a weak hydrogen bond in the initial enzyme-substrate complex is converted into a low-barrier one by alteration of the pK of the substrate or catalytic group so that the pKs match, the increase in hydrogen bond strength can be used to help catalyze the reaction. A well-established example of this is the reaction catalyzed by serine proteases. The pK of neutral histidine is 14, while that of aspartate is approximately 6. Proton transfer from serine to permit attack on bound substrate produces protonated histidine, with a pK now matching that of aspartate. Studies with trifluoromethyl ketone inhibitors that form tetrahedral adducts show up to five orders of magnitude in binding strength as the result of formation of a low-barrier hydrogen bond between aspartate and histidine. Other enzymes whose mechanisms appear to involve low-barrier hydrogen bonds include liver alcohol dehydrogenase, steroid isomerase, triose-P isomerase, aconitase, citrate synthase, and zinc proteases. It is likely that low-barrier hydrogen bonds form at the transition state of any reaction involving general-acid or general-base catalysis, as at that point the pKs of the catalytic group and reactant will be equal.
