Three class-D beta-lactamases (OXA2, OXA1 and PSE2) were produced and purified to protein homogeneity. 6 beta-Iodopenicillanate inactivated the OXA2 enzyme without detectable turnover. Labelling of the same beta-lactamase with 6 beta-iodo[3H]penicillanate allowed the identification of Ser-70 as the active-site serine residue. In agreement with previous reports, the apparent M(r) of the OXA2 enzyme as determined by molecular-sieve filtration, was significantly higher than that deduced from the gene sequence, but this was not due to an equilibrium between a monomer and a dimer. The heterogeneity of the OXA2 beta-lactamase on ion-exchange chromatography contrasted with the similarity of the catalytic properties of the various forms. A first overview of the enzymic properties of the three ‘oxacillinases’ is presented. With the OXA2 enzyme, ‘burst’ kinetics, implying branched pathways, seemed to prevail with many substrates.

A new series of [NiFe]-H2ase mimics (5a,b–7a,b) has been prepared and structurally characterized; particularly, they have been found to be pre-catalysts for H2 production from Cl2CHCO2H under CV conditions.

Thrombin Quick (TQ) may be isolated following treatment of Prothrombin Quick [Owen, et al, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 53: 29-33, (1978)] with Taipan venom, phospholipid and Ca2+. The clotting activity of TQ with fibrinogen is 1/200 that of normal thrombin (T) The activation of Factors V and VIII, and the aggregation of platelets by TQ occurs with an effectiveness of about 1/50 that of thrombin. When incubated with antithrombin III, both T and TQ form inhibitor complexes as determined by dodecylsulfate gel electropheresis. Titration of T and TQ with the fluorescent inhibitor dansylarginine-4-ethylpiperidine amide indicates an equivalent number of active sites based on protein absorption at 280 nm. However, the two enzymes may be distinguished by the decreased fluorescence enhancement observed with TQ relative to T, indicating an increased polarity in the inhibitor binding site of TQ. With the substrate benzoylarginine ethylester, TQ has a Km = 4.5 x 10-5M and kcat - 6.93 compared to Km = 4.0 × 10-5M and kcat = 17.7 for T. This indicates that the defect in TQ esterase activity is in the catalytic mechanism itself and not in substrate binding. The rate of inhibition of TQ by diisopropylphosphofluoridate is decreased. Decreased acylation and deacylation rates for TQ relative to T are observed for tydrolysis of the active site titrant 4-methyumbel1 i feryl-p-guanidlnobenzoate.
