摘要
A startling array of added anions have been observed to function as replacement catalytic nucleophiles in mutant glycosidases, including formate, azide, fluoride and other halides. Likewise, the mechanism of acid-base catalysis is somewhat plastic. The carboxylic acids can be substituted by a sulfenic acid or by ascorbate, and the effective acid strength enhanced by the introduction of strong hydrogen bonds, These studies provide an interesting bridge between enzymes and models thereof.
