Principle of Microscopic Reversibility
For any reversible reaction, the mechanism in
the reverse direction must be identical to that
in the forward reaction (only reversed)
This can be a valuable approach to study
enzyme mechanisms.

Catalytic Antibodies (abzymes)
• Antibodies are proteins that scavenge macromolecular xenobiotics
• Form very tight complexes with macromolecule, which causes
a cascade of events, leading to degradation of macromolecule
• A catalytic antibody is an antibody that catalyzes a chemical reaction
Construction of Catalytic Antibodies
• A transition state analogue that mimics the transition state of
the desired reaction is synthesized--called a hapten
• Hapten is attached to a carrier molecule capable of eliciting
an antibody response--called an antigen
• Antigen injected into a mouse or rabbit
• Monoclonal antibodies (ones that bind to one region of the
antigen) are isolated for that antigen
• The monoclonals are tested for catalytic activity
Transition State Analogue Inhibitor
• Inhibitor molecules resembling the transitionstate species should bind to enzyme much
more tightly than the substrate
• Therefore, a potent enzyme inhibitor would
be a stable compound whose structure
resembles that of the substrate at a
postulated transition state--a transition state
inhibitor

partial exchange w/ 32Pi
No AT32P would have been formed with added
AD32P because ADP would not be an intermediate
If neither experiment leads to incorporation of
32P into the ATP, it does not mean that neither
intermediate is formed
• Assumed enzyme followed an ordered mechanism and that the first
partial reaction could proceed in the absence of glutamine:
Maybe enzyme needs the glutamine to be bound before activation
occurs
Binding of glutamine may cause a conformational change that sets up
binding site for FGAR and ATP
• Another potential problem - ADP generated in the first partial reaction may
bind very tightly, so dissociation and exchange with AD32P do not occur

Phosphatases
How would you test mechanism?
• Mechanism C differentiated from mechanisms A and B
by incubation with H218O
• Associative and dissociative mechanisms are differentiated
by secondary kinetic isotope effects:
Substitution of the phosphate oxygen atoms with 18O gives slower
reaction in an associative mechanism (lower bond order; 18O-P is stronger
than O-P bond; normal secondary isotope effect), but a faster reaction in a
dissociative mechanism (18O=P is higher bond order; more stable transition
state; lower activation energy; inverse secondary isotope effect)
•Associative mechanism gives inversion of stereochemistry
about the phosphorus atom, but this may or may not occur
with a dissociative mechanism
