Kinetics of chymotrypsin- and papain-catalysed synthesis of [leucine]enkephalin and [methionine]enkephalin.


ABSTRACT: The proteinase-catalysed synthesis of [Leu]enkephalin and [Met]enkephalin was studied kinetically. N alpha-t-Butoxycarbonyl-amino acids and peptides or their ethyl esters served as acyl donors, and amino acid phenylhydrazides were used as acyl acceptors. Initial-velocity measurements of alpha-chymotrypsin-catalysed peptide synthesis gave rise to kinetic patterns that are compatible with a ping-pong mechanism modified by a hydrolytic branch. Initial-rate and alternative-substrate inhibition patterns for papain-controlled peptide-bond formation are consistent with a sequential ordered mechanism with the acyl donor as the obligatory first substrate. On the basis of the observed kinetic features, reaction mechanisms are proposed for chymotrypsin- and papain-catalysed peptide synthesis that inversely equal those describing the pathways of proteolysis. The respective initial-velocity expressions for bireactant systems are given, along with the numerical values of the corresponding kinetic parameters.
