摘要: 13C NMR spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate that 13CN-labeled benzoylamidoacetonitrile forms a covalent adduct with the thiol group of cysteine 25 in active site papain. Spectral comparison model compounds indicates is thioimidate. On basis proposed mechanism for formation thioimidate, it concluded -CH2C(= NH)S--imino nitrogen does not sit same manner as ester carbonyl oxygen acyl enzyme (or oxyanion tetrahedral intermediate). Thus, this sense stabilization thioimidate reflect similarity structure between bound and transition state.
