Solvent isotope effects on the glucokinase reaction
The solvent isotope effects on the reaction catalysed by rat-liver glucokinase have been studied. At low concentrations of glucose and high concentrations of MgATP2there is an inverse solvent isotope effect of 3.5. At high glucose concentrations there is a normal solvent isotope effect of 1.3. In 'HzO there is positive co-operativity with respect to glucose [Storer, A. C. and Cornish-Bowden, A....
متن کاملSolvent polarization and kinetic isotope effects in nitroethane deprotonation and implications to the nitroalkane oxidase reaction.
We have carried out a mixed molecular dynamics and centroid path integral simulation using a combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) potential to study the anomalous Brønsted relationship between rates and equilibria for deprotonation of nitroalkanes in water, which is known as the nitroalkane anomaly. The deprotonation process is catalyzed by nitroalkane oxidase. Our resul...
متن کاملSignificant kinetic solvent isotope effects in folding of the catalytic RNA from the hepatitis delta virus.
The exchange of deuterium for hydrogen in water often produces solvent kinetic isotope effects (KSIEs) on the rate constants associated with enzyme reactions, including those catalyzed by RNA. Recently, KSIEs have been used to show that proton transfer occurs in the rate-limiting step of cleavage by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme and other catalytic RNAs. To test the underlying assump...
متن کاملThe effect of solvent on a Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction, using computed and experimental kinetic isotope effects.
A new transition structure for the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and acrolein catalyzed by Et(2)AlCl is found to reconcile reported discrepancies between computed and observed secondary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). Including the effect of solvent realigns the computed results with experiment demonstrating the importance of nonbond interactions at transition structures. Comparison of ...
متن کاملMultiple hydrogen kinetic isotope effects for enzymes catalyzing exchange with solvent: application to alanine racemase.
Alanine racemase catalyzes the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent interconversion of the D- and L-isomers of alanine. Previous studies have shown that the enzyme employs a two-base mechanism in which Lys39 and Tyr265 are the acid/base catalysts. It is thus possible that stereoisomerization of the external aldimine intermediates occurs through a concerted double proton transfer without the existence ...
