Abstract: | The conversion of the serine-195 in α-chymotrypsin to dehydroalanine results in two conformational substates that differ in their extinction coefficients at 240nm. The active site methionine-192 in the substate with lower absorption at 240nm is alkylated by α-bromo-4-nitroacetophenone at a rate of 7.0×10?4sec?1, similar to that found for α-chymotrypsin; the substate with higher absorption at 240nm reacts 14 times slower. These two substates are not separated by an affinity resin containing lima bean trypsin inhibitor. These data infer that the serine-195 plays a role in the stabilization of the active site conformation in α-chymotrypsin. |
