Rate Controlling Step

Unexpectedly, the isotope effect of ethanol-1-Τ as a substrate of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, increases with rising temperature from kH/kT = 3.2 at 5 —15°C to 3.8—4.7 at 20 —35 °C. This suggests a change of the rate controlling step as proposed by MÜLLER-HILL and WALLENFELS, who investigated the temperature dependence of the activation energies in this temperature range. A comparison of the affinities of propanol and butanol with the isotope effects of the corresponding tritium labelled compounds (propanol-1-Τ 6.7 at 25 °C, butanol-1-Τ 6.8 at 25 °C) supports the proposal, that during substrate binding, there must be a direct interaction between the enzyme complex and hydrogen which is removed in the reaction. These influences are less pronounced for the ethanol homologues which are bound less tightly to the enzyme. Therefore the H transfering step proper gives a greater contribution to the overall experimental isotope effect.

Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol

Competitive hydration and isomerisation of the quinone methide I at 25 °C in an aqueous medium in the region of pH 2.4-13.0 was studied spectrophotometrically. The only reaction products in the studied range of pH are 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II) and 4-hydroxystyrene (III). The form of the overall rate equation corresponds to a general acid-base catalysis. The mechanism of both reactions for three markedly separated pH regions is discussed on the basis of kinetic data and solvent deuterium effect.
