The kinetic parameters Km and kcat/Km have been determined for the carboxypeptidase B (CPB, EC 3.4.12.3) catalyzed hydrolysis of benzoylglycyl-DL-homolysine and benzoylglycyl-L-homoarginine. Plots of these data and those for Bz-Gly-Orn and Bz-Gly-Arg (Wolff, E. C., Schirmer, E. W. &Folk, J. E. (1962) J. Biol. Chem. 237, 3094–3099) and Bz-Gly-Lys versus the length of the side chain of the basic amino acid indicate that unlike trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) (Seely, J. H. &Benoiton, N. L. (1970) Can. J. Biochem. 48, 1122–1131) CPB has a higher binding affinity for a guanidino group than for an amino group at the side chain of the substrate C-terminus. On the other hand, CPB is similar to trypsin (ibid) in that the best substrate would have a side chain length between those of lysine and arginine.Studies with Bz-MeGly-Lys and Bz-Ala-Lys showed that the former is very slowly hydrolyzed by CPB but that the latter is a good substrate, with a high affinity for the enzyme, indicative of considerable participation of the Cα-methyl group of alanine in the binding of the substrate to the enzyme.

The reaction of five amphipathic-type thioesters, CH3(CH2) m COS(CH2) n COONa (m + n = 12), with cysteine hexyl, butyl, and ethyl esters were studied in aqueous medium. Compounds with the thioester group in close proximity to the carboxylate moiety (m = 10, n = 2) afforded amides in almost quantitative yield, whereas no reaction proceeded by using compounds with the thioester group distant from the carboxylate. In contrast, no clear difference in yield was observed among the five amphipathic-type thioesters upon reaction with valine hexyl ester. The results indicate that the reaction is affected by both the position of the thioester group and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the amino acid side chain.
