Inhibition of papain by peptide nitriles: conversion of the nitrile group into other functionalities via the papain:nitrile thioimidate ester adduct
Keyword(s):
Peptide nitriles are reversible inhibitors of papain that form thioimidates with the cysteine thiol in the enzyme's active site. These thioimidates undergo reactions with thiols and amines to form acids and amidines, respectively. These reactions were also found to be stereospecific. Only a thioimidate derived from an L-amino acid nitrile will react with exogenous nucleophiles. These reactions were followed by 13C and 15N NMR techniques. Key words: papain, nitrile, l3C NMR, 15N NMR, thioimidate.
