Rapid burst kinetics in the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate by penicillin G acylase from Kluyvera citrophila. Effects of mutation F360V on rate constants for acylation and de-acylation.

Abstract excerpt

The kinetics of release of 4-nitrophenol were followed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry with two 4-nitrophenyl ester substrates of penicillin G acylase from Kluyvera citrophila. With the ester of acetic acid, but not of propionic acid, there was a pre-steady-state exponential phase, the kinetics of which were inhibited by phenylacetic acid (a product of hydrolysis of specific substrates) to the extent predicted...
