Selectivity and Specificity in Substrate Binding to Proteases: Novel Hydrolytic Reactions Catalysed by α-Chymotrypsin Suspended in Organic Solvents with Low Water Content and Mediated by Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate

α-Chymotrypsin suspended in organic solvents with low water content catalysed hydrolytic reactions in the presence of ammonium hydrogen carbonate.Molecular modelling studies were carried out and structure-reactivity relationships were established by studying the hydrolysis of amino acid derivatives and analogues.The enzyme was found to be stereoselective with respect to the hydrolysis of L-amino acid derivatives, but no stereoselectivity was observed when α-hydroxy esters were used as substrates.A general procedure for the resolution of aromatic amino acid esters is given.The results are interpreted in terms of molecular modelling based on X-ray crystallographic data and literature data.
