Lecture 17 • Exams in Chemistry office with M’Lis. Please show your ID to her to pick up your exam. • Quiz on Friday • Enzyme mechanisms
General Acid-Base Catalysis • General acid catalysis- a process in which partial proton transfer from a Brønstead acid (a species that can donate protons) lowers the free energy of a reaction’s transition state. • General base catalysis - process in which partial proton abstraction by a Brønstead base (a species that can combine with a proton) lowers the free energy of a reaction’s transition state. • General acid-base catalysis-a combination of both.

Study of Enzyme Mechanisms • X-ray crystallography-crystallize the molecule with substrate in place and compare to crystal structure of the molecule without the substrate (differences in structure) • For carboxypeptidase A they could show that • Water is expelled by binding of substrate • Arg145 moves 2Å closer to the carboxyl group of the substrate • Glu270 moves 2Å towards the C=O group • Tyr248 moves 12Å towards the amide plane of the peptide • Also able to show what aa surround certain groups-Tyr248 in a hydrophobic pocket.
Study of Enzyme Mechanisms • Check the pH profile of the enzyme. • For carboxypeptidase • The coordination of Zn by His69 and His196 (pK 6.0) • Tyr248 (pK 9.1) Example in book: RNAse (p. 499) 8.5 6.7 Log (Vmax/KM) 6 7 8 9 pH

Charge-relay systems • Relay charges between amino acid side chains in order to catalyze the reaction.
Summary: various methods to increase rate • Increase frequency of the correct group in the correct place e.g. proximity effect • Lower EA by specific catalysis -acid-base catalysis, nucleophile or electrophile • Raise energy of reactants (closer to EA) - ring distortion, transition state analog • Provide alternate low EA pathway - covalent catalysis.] • Michaelis Menten • Lineweavear Burk • Eadie Hofstee • Competitive inhibition • Noncompetitive inhibition
Terms to review for enzymes • Cofactor • Coenzyme • Prosthetic group • Holoenzyme • Apoenzyme • Lock and Key • Transition analog model • Induced fit • Active site, binding site, recognition site, catalytic site

Figure 15-2 The pH dependence of V¢max/K¢M in the RNase A–catalyzed hydrolysis of cytidine-2¢,3¢ -cyclic phosphate. Example in book: RNAse (p. 499) Page 499
RNAse mechanism • His12 acts as general base-takes proton from RNA 2’-OH-making a nucleophile which attacks the phosphate group. • His119 acts as a general acid to promote bond scission. • 2’,3’ cyclic intermediate is hydrolyzed through the reverse of the first step-water replaces the leaving group. His12 is the acid, His119 acts as the base Page 499
Covalent catalysis • Rate acceleration through the transient formation of a catalyst-substrate covalent bond. • Example-decarboxylation of acetoacetate by primary amines • Amine nucleophilically attacks carbonyl group of acetoacetate to form a Schiff base (imine bound)
Figure 15-4 The decarboxylation of acetoacetate. uncatalyzed e- sink Page 500 Catalyzed by primary amine
Covalent catalysis • Made up of three stages • The nucleophilic reaction between the catalyst and the substrate to form a covalent bond. • The withdrawal of electrons from the reaction center by the now electrophilic catalyst • The elimination of the catalyst (reverse of 1.) • Nucleophilic catalysis - covalent bond formation is limiting. • Electrophilic catalysis-withdrawal of electrons is rate limiting
Covalent catalysis • Nucleophilicity is related to basicity. Instead of abstracting a proton, nucleophilically attacks to make covalent bond. • Good covalent catalysts must have high nucleophilicity and ability to form a good leaving group. • Polarized groups (highly mobile e-) are good covalent catalysts: imidazole, thiols. • Lys, His, Cys, Asp, Ser • Coenzymes: thiamine pyrophosphate, pyridoxal phosphate.
Covalent Catalysis • Form transient, metastable intermediates that can supply bond energy into the reaction.

Metal ion catalysis • Almost 1/3 of all enzymes use metal ions for catalytic activity. 2 main types: • Metalloenzymes-have tightly bound metal ions, mmost commonly transition metal ions such as Fe2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, or Co3+ • Metal-activated enzymes-loosely bind metal ions form solution-usually alkali or alkaline earth metals-Na+, K+, Ca2+
Metal ion catalysis • Three ways for catalysis • Binding to substrates to orient them properly for the reaction • Mediating oxidation-reduction reactions through reversible changes in the metal ion’s oxidation state • Electrostatically stabilizing or shielding negative charges.
Serine Hydrolases (Proteases) • Chymotrypsin, trypsin and elastase. • All have a reactive Ser necessary for activity. • Catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide (amide) bonds. • Chymotrypsin can act as an esterase as well as a protease. • Study of esterase activity provided insights into the catalytic mechanism.

Serine Hydrolases (Proteases) • Reaction takes place in 2 phases • The “burst phase”-fast generation of p-nitrophenolate in stoichiometric amounts with enzyme added • The “steady-state phase”-p-nitrophenolate generated at reduced but constant rate; independent of substrate concentration.

Chymotrypsin • Follows a ping pong bi bi mechanism. • Rate limiting step for ester hydrolysis is the deacylation step. • Rate limiting step for amide hydrolysis is first step (enzyme acylation).
Identification of catalytic residues CH(CH3)2 (active Ser)-CH2OH O + • Identified catalytically important residues by chemical labeling studies. • Ser195-identified using diisopropylphospho-fluoridate (DIPF) • Irreversible!

Identification of catalytic residues • His57 was identified through affinity labeling • Substrate analog with a reactive group that specifically binds to the active site of the enzyme forms a stable covalent bond with a nearby susceptible group. • Reactive substrate analogs are sometimes called “Trojan horses” of biochemistry. • Affinity labeled groups can be identified by peptide mapping. • For chymotrypsin, they used an analog to Phe.

Homology among enzymes • Bovine chymotrypsin, bovine trypsin and porcine elastase are highly homologous • ~40% identical over ~240 residues. • All enzymes have active Ser and catalytically essential His • X-ray structures closely related. • Asp102 buried in a solvent inaccessible pocket (third enzyme in the “catalytic triad”)
X-ray structures explain differences in substrate specificity • Chymotrypsin - bulky aromatic side chains (Phe, Trp, Tyr) are preferred and fit into a hydrophobic binding pocket located near catalytic residues. • Trypsin - Residue corresponding to chymotrypsin Ser189 is Asp (anionic). The cationic side chains of Arg and Lys can form ion pairs with this residue. • Elastase - Hydrolyzes Ala, Gly and Val rich sequences. The specificity pocket is largely blocked by side chains of Val and a Thr residue that replace Gly residues that line the binding pocket of chymotrypsin and trypsin.
