An aldehyde dehydrogenase from rabbit liver, a homogeneous protein on three distinct polyacrylamide-gel systems, has an associated 4-nitrophenyl esterase activity. At pH 7.0 in the presence of 80 micrometer-NADH and 800 micrometer-4-nitrophenyl acetate the enzyme produces NAD+ and a stoicheiometric amount of an aldehyde, as well as hydrolysing the ester. On this and other evidence it is proposed that ester hydrolysis occurs at the usual active site of the enzyme.

Esterase Activities

A steroid-sensitive aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was purified from rabbit liver and is homogeneous by the criterion of electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels with or without sodium dodecyl sulphate. The enzyme is tetrameric, of subunit mo.wt. 48 300, and contains no tightly bound zinc. The fluorescence of the protein is decreased in the presence of progesterone, which is inhibitory to the reactions catalysed by the enzyme. When NADH is bound to the enzyme, the fluorescence of the coenzyme is augmented to an extent independent of the presence of steroids or acetaldehyde. The purified enzyme catalyses the oxidation of acetaldehyde and glucuronolactone, and the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate. Each of these reactions is inhibited by progesterone in such a manner as to suggest the formation of a catalytically active enzyme-hormone complex. Diethylstilboestrol inhibits the hydrolysis of esters by this enzyme, but stimulates the oxidation of aldehydes, except at low aldehyde concentrations; the ligand is then inhibitory. NADH inhibits the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate by the enzyme in a partially competitive fashion.

The rate constants of hydrolysis of a series of 4-substituted phenyl propionates, catalysed by bile-salt-stimulated human milk lipase in the absence and presence of cholate or taurocholate stimulation, have been measured at pH 7.3, 310.5 K. There is little evidence for an alkyl site electronic interaction in the rate-determining step of the esterolytic reaction. However, a negatively charged substrate or an amido-substituent caused an inhibition of unstimulated esterase activity. In the presence of the bile-salt cofactors, esterolytic activity against charged substrates may be stimulated or inhibited, depending on the proximity of the charge to the steroidal side chain and the subsequent substrate-interaction within the surrounding environment of the active site. It has been confirmed that bile-salt- stimulated lipase is not an amidase , but that an amide, of the correct geometry, may occupy the active site and restrict esterase activity.

High concentrations of aldehydes slow the inactivation of cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase by disulfiram and also slow the reaction of the enzyme with 2,2'-dithiodipyridine. It is concluded that a low-affinity aldehyde-binding site is probably the site at which thiol-group modifiers react with aldehyde dehydrogenase, as well as being the active site for hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate.

Acylation of the aldehyde dehydrogenase. NADH complex by acetic anhydride leads to the production of acetaldehyde and NAD+. By monitoring changes in nucleotide fluorescence, the rate constant for acylation of the active site of the *enzyme. NADH complex was found to be 11 +/- 3 s-1. The rate of acylation by acetic anhydride at the group that binds aldehydes on the oxidative pathway is clearly rapid enough to maintain significant steady-state concentrations of the required active-site-acylated *enzyme. NADH intermediate despite the rapid hydrolysis of this *enzyme.acyl. NADH intermediate (5-10 s-1) [Blackwell, Motion, MacGibbon, Hardman & Buckley (1987) Biochem. J. 242, 803-808]. Hence reversal of the normal oxidative pathway can occur. However, although acylation of the aldehyde dehydrogenase. NADH complex by 4-nitrophenyl acetate also occurs rapidly with a rate constant of 10.9 +/- 0.6 s-1, even under the most extreme trapping conditions only very small amounts of acetaldehyde are detected [Loomes & Kitson (1986) Biochem. J. 235, 617-619]. Furthermore enzyme-catalysed hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate is limited by the rate of deacylation of a group on the enzyme (0.4 s-1), which is an order of magnitude less than deacylation of the group at the active site (5-10 s-1). It is concluded that the enzyme-catalysed 4-nitrophenyl ester hydrolysis involves a group on the enzyme that is different from the active-site group that binds aldehydes on the normal oxidative pathway.

Stopped-flow experiments in spectrophotometric and fluorescence modes reveal different aspects of the aldehyde dehydrogenase mechanism. Spectrophotometric experiments show a rapid burst of NADH production whose course is not affected by Mg2+. The slower burst seen in the fluorescence mode is markedly accelerated by Mg2+. It is argued that the fluorescence burst accompanies acyl-enzyme hydrolysis and, therefore, that Mg2+ increases the rate of this process. Experiments on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl propionate indicate that acyl-enzyme hydrolysis is indeed accelerated by Mg2+ and a combination of Mg2+ and NADH. Vmax. values for p-nitrophenyl propionate hydrolysis in the presence of NADH and NADH and Mg2+ agree closely with the specific rates of acyl hydrolysis from the E . NADH . acyl and E . NADH . acyl . Mg2+ complexes seen in the dehydrogenase reaction with propionaldehyde. These observations support the view that esterase and dehydrogenase activities occur at the same site on the enzyme. Other evidence is presented to support this conclusion.

Catalytic enhancement of chemical reactions via heterogeneous materials occurs through stabilization of transition states at designed active sites, but dramatically greater rate acceleration on that same active site is achieved when the surface intermediates oscillate in binding energy. The applied oscillation amplitude and frequency can accelerate reactions orders of magnitude above the catalytic rates of static systems, provided the active site dynamics are tuned to the natural frequencies of the surface chemistry. In this work, differences in the characteristics of parallel reactions are exploited via selective application of active site dynamics (0 < ΔU < 1.0 eV amplitude, 10<sup>-6</sup> < f < 10<sup>4</sup> Hz frequency) to control the extent of competing reactions occurring on the shared catalytic surface. Simulation of multiple parallel reaction systems with broad range of variation in chemical parameters revealed that parallel chemistries are highly tunable in selectivity between either pure product, even when specific products are not selectively produced under static conditions. Two mechanisms leading to dynamic selectivity control were identified: (i) surface thermodynamic control of one product species under strong binding conditions, or (ii) catalytic resonance of the kinetics of one reaction over the other. These dynamic parallel pathway control strategies applied to a host of chemical conditions indicate significant potential for improving the catalytic performance of many important industrial chemical reactions beyond their existing static performance.

Abstract The amount of naturally occurring methanol in fruit must be known so that the quantity left as fumigation residue can be determined. In a study of methanol content of raisins, which had given inconsistent results, the raisins were subjected to different conditions of treatment immediately prior to methanol determination. Conditions that favored pectin esterase activity gave higher values for methanol content than conditions known to inactivate enzymes. Evidence was also obtained that both chemical and enzymic hydrolysis of methyl ester groups of pectic materials occur during analysis.
