Abstract

Both enantiomers of 3-benzyl-2-oxetanone (1) were found to be slowly hydrolyzed substrates of α-chymotrypsin having kcat values of 0.134±0.008 and 0.105±0.004 min− 1 for (R)-1 and (S)-1, respectively, revealing that α-CT is virtually unable to differentiate the enantiomers in the hydrolysis of 1. The initial step to form the acyl-enzyme intermediate by the attack of Ser-195 hydroxyl on the β-lactone ring at the 2-position in the hydrolysis ...
