Mechanism of inactivation of chymotrypsin by 5-butyl-3H-1,3-oxazine-2,6-dione. 1984

B Weidmann, and R H Abeles

5-Butyl-3H-1,3-oxazine-2,6-dione (1) inactivates chymotrypsin. The extent of inactivation is dependent upon the concentration of 1. Upon dilution of the inactivated enzyme, catalytic activity is partially restored. Reactivation is a biphasic process. An initial relatively rapid phase (k = 1.8 X 10(-2) min), whose amplitude is dependent upon the extent of dilution, is observed. Maximally, 60-65% of the catalytic activity can be recovered. The rapid phase is followed by a slow phase (k approximately 1 X 10(-3) min-1). With 1 labeled with 14C at C-2, it was shown that two forms of inactive enzyme are formed, E.1 and E.1'. 14C label is retained in E.1 but is no longer present in E.1'. Presumably, C-2 is lost as CO2. The following reaction sequence is proposed for the inactivation of chymotrypsin: E + 1 in equilibrium E.1 CO2----E.1'----E + 1''. The probable structures of E.1, E . 1', and 1'' are shown in Scheme I in the text.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
