Abstract
Magnetic resonance studies of the interaction of N-trifluoroacetyl-n-(and L-)p-fluorophenylalanine with α-chymotrypsin have been used to investigate the molecular details of the enzyme-inhibitor interaction including the effect of pH (from 5.0 to 8.0). The principles of the technique are described. We conclude that the trifluoroacetyl group of then isomer interacts with the catalytic locus (His-57, Ser-195) while that of the L isomer is directed toward Ser-214. The aromatic ring of both then and L isomer resides in the hydrophobic pocket. The binding constant for the n isomer increases with neutralization of a group which has pK. of 6.6 in the free-enzyme (presumably His-57). The dimerization of chymotrypsin strongly affects the quantitative results and has been explicitly included in the analysis.
