Probing the specificity of the S 1 ′, leaving group, site of subtilisin Bacillus lentus using an enzyme-catalyzed transesterification reaction
摘要:
Subtilisin Bacillus lentus catalyzes transesterifications between N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine vinyl ester and a wide range of alcohols. Reaction yields are high when primary alcohols are used, and quantitative with methanol. With chiral alcohols, the reaction is enantioselective, and the stereoselectivity is reversed on going from open chain secondary alcohols to beta-branched primary alcohols. A model is proposed to account for this change in absolute configuration preference. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The α-chymotrypsin-catalyzedhydrolyses of a representative spectrum of (R)- and (S)-2-butyl, -2-octyl, and -α-phenethyl esters of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, N-acetylglycine, α-hydroxy-β-phenyl-propionic, dihydrocinnamic, and hippuric acids have been examined. The kinetic studies were carried out in order to provide data on the practicability of exploiting the stereospecificity of the nucleophilic region

mutagenesis and chemicalmodification strategy has been used to create superior enzymecatalysts for the resolution of racemic primary and secondary alcohols using a transesterification reaction. The chemically modified mutant, N62C–S–CH3, of subtilisinBacilluslentus catalyzes the transesterification of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine vinyl ester with β-branched primary alcohols faster than wild type.
