Catalytic activity of -chymotrypsin in which histidine-57 has been methylated.

R Henderson.   

Abstract

The properties of a derivative of alpha-chymotrypsin in which histidine-57 has been methylated have been examined. Although the modified enzyme binds substrate with the same affinity as does native alpha-chymotrypsin, acylation and deacylation occur at much decreased rates. As for native alpha-chymotrypsin, a basic group of pK(a) approx. 7 is involved in both acylation and deacylation. The significance of these results is considered in relation to the normal function of histidine-57.
