“…Both of these enzymes, and many others, use an essential aspartic acid carboxyl function as a nucleophile to form a transient aspartyl phosphate intermediate that is either hydrolysed or donates its phosphoryl group to a second substrate hydroxyl group. [Such covalent activity by a neighbouring carboxyl group was first recognised in model studies of carboxylate mega-activation of phosphonate 29 and phosphate 30 ester hydrolyses in the late 1960s]. In both of these enzymes, our studies have established transition state structures for binary complexes using magnesium trifluoride anion as an isosteric and isoelectronic mimic of the transferring phosphoryl group.…”

“…If the subsequent reaction of the dianion does not involve further proton transfer steps, that leads to an expected solvent kinetic isotope effect of approximately 4 due to the reduced concentration of the dianion in D 2 O. The reaction of a fully ionised oxyanion nucleophile with a phosphate diester has only a small secondary solvent isotope effect, which can be slightly inverse (0.8,54 0.9,55 0.9556) or normal (1.1,57 1.558) and the magnitude of this additional effect is consistent with the overall values that we report here 59…”

“…Another example of intramolecular catalysis in the hydrolysis of phosphate diesters is the nucleophilic catalysis by the carboxylate group in the o-position relative to the ester linkage in aryl 2-carboxyphenyl phosphates 63 . The alkaline hydrolysis of the anions of these esters is 10 7 -10 8 faster than that of the analogous compounds without a CO 2 " group in the o-position.…”

“…The intramolecular catalysis of the hydrolysis of phosphate triesters has been investigated in a number of studies 95 ' 102 " 106 . In the hydrolysis of aryl 2-carboxyphenyl phosphates intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis by the ionised carboxy-group led to the preferential cleavage of the P-OAr bond 63 , which was explained by the inhibition of pseudorotation in the five-coordinated intermediate compounds containing two negatively charged oxygen atoms in the equatorial positions of the bipyramidal structure. In triesters of similar structure [but without a carboxylate group], there is only one negatively charged ligand in the equatorial position and pseudorotation is not hindered.…”
