6. The F1 complex has three interacting nucleotide-binding and conformationally distinct αβ domains: FIGURE 14-15. The hydrolysis of carboxylic acid derivative usually proceeds with a tetrahedral intermediate, as shown here: In the presence of hydrogen ions, the carbonyl oxygen is protonated, which enhances attack of the carbonyl carbon by weaker nucleophiles such as water. Submitochondrial vesicles devoid of F1 can transport reducing equivalents, since they contain the redox carriers, but are unable to support ATP synthesis. The second-order acylation constant, kcat/Km, also conforms to a bell-shaped curve, suggesting that the binding constant, Ks=k−1/k1, is independent of pH.

As a result, the carbonyl group can be attacked nucleophilically (by attacking the carbon, using a nucleophile such as OH−). Then, resting cells of C. propionicum were used to further convert up to 18.5% of propionate to acrylate with methylene blue as the electron acceptor. Specifically, we genetically encoded a thioester-activated aspartic acid (ThioD) in bacteria in good yield and with high fidelity using an orthogonal nonsense suppressor tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) pair. It was originally thought that the pKa of 4 belongs to a carboxyl group. However, later the three-dimensional structure of papain clearly indicated that the imidazole group of His159 is located in the immediate vicinity of the sulfur atom of Cys25, and that the closest carboxyl group, Asp158, is in an unfavorable position to accept the proton from the thiol group. Further, to maintain the accumulation of acrylate without being further metabolized, methylene blue was maintained in an oxidized state, reoxidized by molecular oxygen. Stability evaluation indicated that thioester 1 was partially hydrolysed by MβLs to be converted into the mercaptoacetic acid, revealing that the thioester and its hydrolysate mercaptoacetic acid jointly inhibit MβLs. The effect of electron-withdrawing substituents on R1 can be seen by comparing the relative hydrolysis rate of a series of substituted benzoate esters, while that of the leaving groups can be seen from the comparison of the hydrolysis rate of different carboxylic derivatives, such as anhydride, ester, amide, and other substances, which usually follows the following pattern: acyl halide>carboxylic anhydride>ester>amide. Tight conformation (T): binds nucleotides tightly and is catalytically active.
