1. A new thiol-specific reactivity probe 4,4′-dipyrimidyl disulphide [compound (VII), m.p. 110 degrees C, pKa of its monohydronated form 0.91] was synthesized and used to resolve the ambiguity of interpretation of the behaviour of papain (EC 3.4.22.2) in alkaline media known to depend to varying extents on two ionizations with pKa values approx. 8.0-8.5 and > or = 9.5 respectively. 2. A new extensive pH-second-order rate constant (k) data set for the reaction of papain with 2-(acetamido)-ethyl 2′-pyridyl disulphide (IV) demonstrated the existence of a striking rate maximum at pH approx. 4, the independence of k around pH 8 and the increase in k with increase in pH across a pKa value of 10.0, behaviour similar to that of other 2-pyridyl disulphides (R-S-S-2-Py) that lack key substrate-like binding sites in R. 3. Although the simplest interpretation of the pKa value of 10.0 assigns it to the formation of (Cys-25)-S-/(His-159)-Im from the ion-pair state of the papain catalytic site, another interpretation may be conceived in which this pKa value is assigned to another group remote from the catalytic site, the state of ionization of which modulates catalytic-site behaviour. This alternative assignment is shown to require compensating effects in the pH region around 8 such that the formation of (Cys-25)-S-/(His-159)-Im across pKa 8.0-8.5 is without net kinetic effect in the reactions of simple 2-pyridyl disulphides such as compound (IV) and 2,2′-dipyridyl disulphide (II). 4. The lower basicity of compound (VII) relative to that of compound (II) (pKa 2.45) was predicted to diminish or abolish the compensation postulated as a possibility in reactions of 2-pyridyl disulphides because of the decreased effectiveness of reaction via a (His-159)-Im+H-assisted transition state. The characteristics of the pH-dependence of the reaction of papain with compound (VII) which are quite different from those for its reaction with compound (II) support both this prediction and the alternative assignment with a value of 8.3 for the pKa of the formation of (Cys-25)-S-/(His-159)-Im. 5. Evidence that the behaviour of papain towards both substrates and some substrate-derived time-dependent inhibitors is determined not only by the loss of the (Cys-25)-S-/(His-159)-Im+H ion-pair state by dehydronation with pKa 8.3 but also by another ionization of pKa approx. 10.0 is briefly discussed.

The distribution of alkali metal picrates between water and polyurethane foam was studied in the presence of dicyclohexyl 18-crown-6 (DCHC-6). The extraction constants and dissociation constants for the ion pair (MCrA) in polyurethane foam were determined. The extraction constant sequence of the alkali metal ions with DCHC-6 is K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ > Na+ and mainly depends on the stability of the alkali metal – crown ether complex.
