The role of promoting vibrations in enzymic reactions involving hydrogen tunnelling is contentious. While models incorporating such promoting vibrations have successfully reproduced and explained experimental observations, it has also been argued that such vibrations are not part of the catalytic effect. In this study, we have employed combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical methods with molecular dynamics and potential energy surface calculations to investigate how enzyme and substrate motion affects the energy barrier to proton transfer for the rate-limiting H-transfer step in aromatic amine dehydrogenase (AADH) with tryptamine as substrate. In particular, the conformation of the iminoquinone adduct induced by AADH was found to be essential for a promoting vibration identified previously—this lowers significantly the ‘effective’ potential energy barrier, that is the barrier which remains to be surmounted following collective, thermally equilibrated motion attaining a quantum degenerate state of reactants and products. When the substrate adopts a conformation similar to that in the free iminoquinone, this barrier was found to increase markedly. This is consistent with AADH facilitating the H-transfer event by holding the substrate in a conformation that induces a promoting vibration.

The kinetics and deuterium isotope effects for the N-aryl aniline and N-alkyl aniline inhibited autoxidation of styrene indicate that the rate-controlling step for inhibition involves abstraction of the amino hydrogen by a peroxy radical. The rate constants for this reaction have been correlated by means of the Hammett equation with the σ+ constants of the substituents for diphenylamines (ρ = −0.89) and N-methylanilines (ρ = −1.6). A numerical difference involving a factor of two between the simple kinetic expression applicable to most aromatic amine inhibitors and the expression applicable to most phenols and p-phenylenediamines is suggested. The important role played by the substrate in studies of inhibitor action is emphasized.

ABSTRACT A lysozyme-osmotic shock method is described for fractionation ofAlcaligenes faecalis which uses glucose to adjust osmotic strength and multiple osmotic shocks. During phenylethylamine-dependent growth, aromatic amine dehydrogenase, azurin, and a single cytochromec were localized in the periplasm. Their induction patterns are different from those for the related quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase and its associated redox proteins.
