16.1 Stabilizing the Transition State

  • Rate acceleration by an enzyme means that the energy barrier between ES and EX‡ must be smaller than the barrier between S and X‡

  • This means that the enzyme must stabilize the EX‡ transition state more than it stabilizes ES

  • See Eq. 16.3





16.2 Large Rate Accelerations

  • See Table 16.1

  • Mechanisms of catalysis:

    • Entropy loss in ES formation
    • Destabilization of ES
    • Covalent catalysis
    • General acid/base catalysis
    • Metal ion catalysis
    • Proximity and orientation


16.3 Binding Energy of ES

  • Competing effects determine the position of ES on the energy scale

  • Try to mentally decompose the binding effects at the active site into favorable and unfavorable

  • The binding of S to E must be favorable

  • But not too favorable!

  • Km cannot be "too tight" - goal is to make the energy barrier between ES and EX‡ small







16.4 Entropy Loss and Destabilization of ES

  • Raising the energy of ES raises the rate

  • For a given energy of EX‡, raising the energy of ES will increase the catalyzed rate

  • This is accomplished by

    • a) loss of entropy due to formation of ES
    • b) destabilization of ES by
      • strain
      • distortion
      • desolvation








16.5 Transition State Analogs

  • Very tight binding to the active site!

  • The affinity of the enzyme for the transition state may be 10 -15 M!

  • Can we see anything like that with stable molecules?

  • Transition state analogs (TSAs) do pretty well!

  • Proline racemase was the first case

  • See Figure 16.8 for some good recent cases!







16.6 Covalent Catalysis

  • Serine Proteases are good examples!

  • Enzyme and substrate become linked in a covalent bond at one or more points in the reaction pathway

  • The formation of the covalent bond provides chemistry that speeds the reaction







General Acid-base Catalysis

  • Catalysis in which a proton is transferred in the transition state

  • "Specific" acid-base catalysis involves H+ or OH- that diffuses into the catalytic center

  • "General" acid-base catalysis involves acids and bases other than H+ and OH-

  • These other acids and bases facilitate transfer of H+ in the transition state

  • See Figure 16.12







The Serine Proteases

  • Trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, thrombin, subtilisin, plasmin, TPA

  • All involve a serine in catalysis - thus the name

  • Ser is part of a "catalytic triad" of Ser, His, Asp

  • Serine proteases are homologous, but locations of the three crucial residues differ somewhat

  • Enzymologists agree, however, to number them always as His-57, Asp-102, Ser-195

  • Burst kinetics yield a hint of how they work!





Serine Protease Mechanism

  • A mixture of covalent and general acid-base catalysis

  • Asp-102 functions only to orient His-57

  • His-57 acts as a general acid and base

  • Ser-195 forms a covalent bond with peptide to be cleaved

  • Covalent bond formation turns a trigonal C into a tetrahedral C

  • The tetrahedral oxyanion intermediate is stabilized by N-Hs of Gly-193 and Ser-195





















The Aspartic Proteases

  • Pepsin, chymosin, cathepsin D, renin and HIV-1 protease

  • All involve two Asp residues at the active site

  • Two Asps work together as general acid-base catalysts

  • Most aspartic proteases have a tertiary structure consisting of two lobes (N-terminal and C-terminal) with approximate two-fold symmetry

  • HIV-1 protease is a homodimer





Aspartic Protease Mechanism

  • The pKa values of the Asp residues are crucial

  • One Asp has a relatively low pKa, other has a relatively high pKa

  • Deprotonated Asp acts as general base, accepting a proton from HOH, forming OH- in the transition state

  • Other Asp (general acid) donates a proton, facilitating formation of tetrahedral intermediate





Asp Protease Mechanism - II

  • See Figure 16.27

  • What evidence exists to support the hypothesis of different pKa values for the two Asp residues?

  • See the box on page 525

  • Bell-shaped curve is a summation of the curves for the two Asp titrations

  • In pepsin, one Asp has pKa of 1.4, the other 4.3







HIV-1 Protease

  • A novel aspartic protease

  • HIV-1 protease cleaves the polyprotein products of the HIV genome

  • This is a remarkable imitation of mammalian aspartic proteases

  • HIV-1 protease is a homodimer - more genetically economical for the virus

  • Active site is two-fold symmetric

  • Two Asp residues - one high pKa, one low pKa





Therapy for HIV?

  • Protease inhibitors as AIDS drugs

  • If the HIV-1 protease can be selectively inhibited, then new HIV particles cannot form

  • Several novel protease inhibitors are currently marketed as AIDS drugs

  • Many such inhibitors work in a culture dish

  • However, a successful drug must be able to kill the virus in a human subject without blocking other essential proteases in the body







Lysozyme

  • Lysozyme hydrolyzes polysaccharide chains and ruptures certain bacterial cells by breaking down the cell wall

  • Hen egg white enzyme has 129 residues with four disulfide bonds

  • The first enzyme whose structure was solved by X-ray crystallography (by David Phillips in 1965)







Substrate Analog Studies

  • Natural substrates are not stable in the active site for structural studies

  • But analogs can be used - like (NAG)3

  • Fitting a NAG into the D site requires a distortion of the sugar

  • This argues for stabilization of a transition state via destabilization (distortion and strain) of the substrate









The Lysozyme Mechanism

  • Studies with 18O-enriched water show that the C1-O bond is cleaved on the substrate between the D and E sites

  • This incorporates 18O into C1

  • Glu35 acts as a general acid

  • Asp52 stabilizes a carbonium ion intermediate (see Figure 16.37)







Chapter 16 Problems

  • Work the end-of-chapter problems!

  • Number 2 is particularly good

  • Note in the Science article referenced in number 2 that the figure legend has a mistake!
