摘要：

The effects of a water-miscible organic solvent (9:1 mix of DMF and DMSO) on the esterase and amidase kinetic parameters of trypsin have been investigated. The solvent selectively reduced the K(cat) for amidase activity relative to that for esterase activity. For both reaction types, K(m) increased sharply with increasing solvent concentration. Kinetic studies were complemented by fluorescent measurements of the enzyme's overall conformation and by EPR spectroscopy studies of the active-site microstructure. The decline in k(cat) for amidase activity began at solvent concentrations greater than 10%; this decrease correlated well with minor changes in the structure of the active site as indicated by EPR spectroscopy. In contrast, the esterase k(cat) showed no significant decrease throughout the solvent concentration range studied. The k(cat) values were based on the number of active sites as indicated by active site titration.
