Configuration retaining glycosidases catalyse the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds via a double displacement mechanism, typically involving two key active site carboxyl groups (Glu or Asp). One of the enzymic carboxyl groups functions as a general acid–base catalyst, the other acts as a nucleophile. Alternatively, configuration-retaining hexosaminidases from the sequence-related glycosidase families 18, 20, and 56 lack a suitably positioned enzymic nucleophile; instead, they use the carbonyl oxygen atom of the neighbouring C2-acetamido group of the substrate. The carbonyl oxygen atom of the 2-acetamido group provides anchimeric assistance to the enzyme catalyzed reaction by acting as an intramolecular nucleophile, attacking the anomeric center and forming a cyclized oxazolinium ion intermediate that is stereochemically equivalent to the glycosyl–enzyme intermediate formed in the "normal" double displacement mechanism. Although there is little sequence similarity between families 18, 20, and 56 hexosaminidases, X-ray crystallographic studies demonstrate that they have evolved similar catalytic domains and active site architectures that are designed to distort the bound substrate so that the C2-acetamido group can become appropriately positioned to participate in catalysis. The substrate distortion allows for a substrate-assisted catalytic reaction that displays all the general characteristics of the classic double-displacement mechanism including the formation of a covalent intermediate.Key words: glycoside hydrolase, hexosaminidase, glycosidase, substrate-assisted catalysis, anchimeric assistance.

I.r. difference spectra are presented for 3-(indol-3-yl)acryloyl-, cinnamoyl-, 3-(5-methylthien-2-yl)acryloyl-, dehydrocinnamoyl- and dihydrocinnamoyl-chymotrypsins at low pH, where the acyl-enzymes are catalytically inactive. At least two absorption bands are seen in each case in the ester carbonyl stretching region of the spectrum. Cinnamoyl-chymotrypsin substituted at the carbonyl carbon atom with 13C was prepared. A difference spectrum in which 13C-substituted acyl-enzyme was subtracted from [12C]acyl-enzyme shows two bands in the ester carbonyl region and thus confirms the assignment of the features to the single ester carbonyl group. The frequencies of the ester carbonyl bands are interpreted in terms of differential hydrogen-bonding. In each case a lower-frequency relatively narrow band is assigned to a productive potentially reactive binding mode in which the carbonyl oxygen atom is inserted in the oxyanion hole of the enzyme active centre. The higher-frequency band, which is broader, is assigned to a non-productive binding mode in each case, where a water molecule bridges from the carbonyl oxygen atom to His-57; this mode is equivalent to the crystallographically determined structure of 3-(indol-3-yl)acryloyl-chymotrypsin, i.e. the Henderson structure. A difference spectrum of dihydrocinnamoyl-chymotrypsin taken at higher pH shows resolution of a feature centred upon 1731 cm-1, which is assigned to a non-bonded conformer in which the carbonyl oxygen atom is not hydrogen-bonded. Perturbation of the protein spectrum in the presence of acyl groups is interpreted in terms of enhanced structural rigidity. It is reported that the ester carbonyl region of the difference spectrum of cinnamoyl-subtilisin is complicated by overlap of features that arise from protein perturbation. Measurements of carbonyl absorption frequencies in a number of solvents of the methyl esters of the acyl groups used to make acyl-enzymes have permitted determination of the apparent dielectric constants experienced by carbonyl groups in the enzyme active centre as well as a discussion of the effects of polarity. The ester carbonyl bond strengths of the various conformations were estimated by using simple harmonic oscillator theory and an empirical relation between the force constants and bond strengths. The fractional bond breaking induced by hydrogen-bonding was used to calculate rate enhancement factors by using absolute reaction rate theory.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Ionic Nature

Complexes of cyanoacetamide with aluminium chloride and bromide, anti- mony(V) chloride, boron(III) bromide, tin(IV) chloride and bromide, titanium(IV) chloride and bromide, and zirconium(IV) chloride have been prepared. The molar conductances of the complexes in nitrobenzene indicate their non-ionic nature. The infrared spectra indicate bonding of the metal halides to the carbonyl oxygen atom of the ligand. Metal- to-oxygen bonding also gets support from the far-infrared spectral data.

Torsional Transition

In 1-arylhydantoins an o-methyl group is effectively larger than an o-chloro substituent in restricting rotation about the aryl-C—N bond, whereas in 3-arylhydantoins and 3-aryl-2-thiohydantoins the reverse order of sizes is observed. This difference is attributed to repulsion between the chlorine atom and a carbonyl oxygen atom in the torsional transition state of the 3-aryl compounds.
