Abstract:
:The hydrolysis of 32 X-phenyl-N-methanesulfonyl glycinates by papain was investigated. It was found that the variation in the Michaelis constants could be rationalized by the following correlation equation: log 1/Km = 0.61 pi '3 + 0.46 MR4 + 0.55 sigma + 2.00 with a correlation coefficient of 0.945. In this expression, pi '3 is the hydrophobic constant for the more lipophilic of the two possible meta substituents, MR4 is the molar refractivity of 4-substituents, and sigma is the Hammett constant summed for all substituents. Using this equation, we designed, synthesized, and successfully predicted Km for a new congener intended to maximize binding (1/Km). The interactions involved in enzyme-substrate binding, as characterized by the correlation equation, are interpreted using a computer-constructed color three-dimensional-graphics molecular model of the enzyme active site. The nonenzymatic hydrolysis (both acid and basic) of phenyl hippurates yield rate constants which are well correlated by Hammett equations; however, log k for both acid and alkaline hydrolysis are not linearly related to log 1/Km or log kcat/Km.
