Popis: The K I values for inhibition of thermolysin activity by N -β-phenylpropionyl-aliphatic amino acids (Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile) are correlated by π, the hydrophobic substituent parameter for the amino acid side chain (log K I = −0.73 π −1.80, correlation coefficient = 0.990). By contrast, the K I values for the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl amino acids are poorly correlated by π, but show a good correlation with the steric parameter E s (log K I = 0.880 E s − 3.086, correlation coefficient = 0.985). Binding of β-phenylpropionyl- l -alanine is associated with an acidic residue of p K 7.3 and a basic residue of p K 8.0 in the E · I complex, and appears to raise the p K of Glu-143 by 2 units. Binding of benzyloxycarbonyl-Ala and -Phe is associated with an acidic residue of p K 8.0 and two basic residues, both with p K 8.3. Three similar p K values are observed with benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe. These results are interpreted in terms of different modes of binding of β-phenylpropionyl and benzyloxycarbonyl inhibitors.
