摘要: Rat kidney neutral endopeptidase 24.11, "enkephalinase", was rapidly inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate under mildly acidic conditions. The pH dependence of inactivation revealed the modification an essential residue with a pKa 6.1. reaction unprotonated group exhibited second-order rate constant 11.6 M-1 s-1 and accompanied increase in absorbance at 240 nm. Treatment enzyme 50 mM hydroxylamine completely restored activity. These findings indicate histidine pyrocarbonate. Comparison nm single for catalysis. presence this active site indicated (a) protection from provided substrate (b) specific inhibitor phosphoramidon one as determined spectrally. kinetic parameter Vmax/Km upon two residues values 5.9 7.3. It is proposed that having modified participates general acid/base catalysis during hydrolysis 24.11.
