Abstract: Kinetic behavior of alpha-chymotrypsinin the reaction of hydrolysis of the N-acetyl-L-tyrosine derivatives was investigated in non-denaturing water-dimethylsulfoxide and water-ethanol mixtures. Similar specific interactions between the two solvents and the active site of alpha-chymotrypsin were shown to result in similar kinetic effects. It is proposed that the changes in the active site structure of the enzyme caused by the interaction with the organic solvents ("conformational isomer" formation) resulted in … Show more

“…In this sense, it is interesting to note that similar results were obtained by Eremeev et al [32] for the α-CTcatalyzed hydrolysis of different substrates in mixtures of homogeneous solvents; i.e., bell-shaped or continuously decreasing v 0 rates were observed depending on the substrate considered.…”

“…In previous studies 7,18,19 , the mechanism of 2-NA hydrolysis where S stands for the substrate, E for the enzyme, SE for the enzyme-substrate complex, S′E for the acyl-enzyme intermediate and P1 and P2 for the basic and acidic products, respectively. Further these authors proposed that the effect of surfactant DTAB on the enzymatic activity occurs in the last step owing to the increase in the rate constant k3.…”

“…Although some studies have been conducted, for example, for the kinetic behaviour of alpha-chymotrypsin in organic solvents,22 up to now it was not possible to generalize the influence of organic solvents on enzyme behaviour. Mechanistic explanations are only applicable for very specific systems23 and solvent effects in general are by no means completely understood.…”
