Abstract:
The cis/trans interconversion of Glt‐Ala‐Ala‐Pro‐Phe‐4‐nitroanilide and Glt‐Ala‐Gly‐Pro‐Phe‐4‐nitroanilide was studied both enzymatically and nonenzymatically by measuring kinetic β‐deuterium isotope effects. The hydrogen atom at the α‐carbon atom of the Xaa residue within the Xaa‐Pro moiety was substituted by deuterium. In the nonenzymatic case the transition state of rotation is reflected by k H / k D 〉 1. When catalysed by 17 kDa PPIase the same bond rotation is characterized by k H / k D 〈 1. This suggests a covalent mechanism of catalysis which involves an approximately tetravalent carbon of the prolyl imidic bond for the transition state of reaction.
