The complexes formed between chymotrypsin and the doubly fluorine- labelled inhibitors, o-, m- and p-fluoro-N-trifluoroacetyl-D- phenylalanine and 2,4-difluoro-N-trifluoroacetyl-D-phenylalanine, have been characterized by 19F N.M.R. spectroscopy and binding parameters, ΔB and KI, have been derived. The results confirm the importance of the amido binding site in orienting aromatic amino acids at the active site of chymotrypsin. Changes in ΔB, the change in chemical shift of the enzyme-bound inhibitor, are shown to be a very sensitive probe of enzyme-inhibitor interactions.

The binding of N-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of phenylalanine to the enzyme chymotrypsin has been studied by 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Separate resonances are observed for the D- and L- enantiomers in the presence of chymotrypsin and their difference in chemical shift is dependent on the molar ratio of inhibitor to enzyme. The results are interpreted in terms of the known structure of the active site and possible modes of reorientation of the aromatic ring in its binding site. Approximate and accurate methods of quantifying the data are discussed and values for the dissociation constant (KI) of the EI complex, and the change in chemical shift on binding, are reported for the D-isomers.

Proton magnetic spectra of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin derivatives of common amino acids in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide were recorded. Spectral data pertaining to characteristic protons for diagnostic purpose were compiled. Their application to the N-terminal amino acid analysis of peptide by Edman degradation was examined.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra of methylthiohydantoin (3-methyl-2-thiohydantoin), thiohydantoin (2-thiohydantoin), and hydantoin derivatives of amino acids were studied in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6. Their parent amino acids could be identified by the spectra. An application to the N- and C-terminal amino acid analysis of a tripeptide was examined.

The binding of the inhibitors N-trifluoroacetyltryptophan, N- trifluoroacetylphenylalanine, N-acetyl-tryptophan and N- acetylphenylalanine to chymotrypsin has been studied by 19F N.M.R. spectroscopy at several pH values. Methods for determining the binding parameters, KI and ΔB, including a model for enzyme oligomerization and competitive inhibition from a second inhibitor, are discussed and a general non-linear least-squares method is presented. Values of KI and ΔB are recorded for D and L enantiomers of tryptophan derivatives and for D-phenylalanine derivatives. The results are discussed in terms of a model for the aromatic binding site of chymotrypsin.

The effects of structure on the shielding of formyl protons of aliphatic aldehydes have been examined. The survey included examples of acyclic, alicyclic, and α, β-unsaturated aldehydes. The potential use of these results as an aid for structural elucidations is discussed, and the limitations are noted.
