How is TS Stabilization
Achieved?
acid-base catalysis: give and take protons
covalent catalysis: change reaction paths
metal ion catalysis: use redox cofactors, pKashifters
electrostatic catalysis: preferential interactions with TS

Acid-base Catalysis:
Chemical Example
Consider ester hydrolysis:

+ C H3O
Water is a poor nucleophile, and methanol is a
poor leaving group
Aqueous hydrolysis can be catalyzed eitherby
acids or by bases
Enzymes can do acid and base catalysis simultaneously

The anhydride hydrolysis
reaction is catalyzed by
pyridine, a better
nucleophilethan water
(pKa=5.5).
Hydrolysis is accelerated
because of charge loss in
the transition state
makes pyridine a good
leaving group.

Peptidoglycan and Lysozyme
Peptidoglycan is a
polysaccharide found in
many bacterial cell walls
Cleavage of the cell wallleads to the lysis of
bacteria
Lysozyme is an
antibacterial enzyme

General Acid-Base + Covalent Catalysis:
Cleavage of Peptidoglycan by Lysozyme
X-ray structures of
lysozyme with bound
substrate analogs show
that the C-1 carbon is
located between Glu 35
and Asp 52 residues.

Cleavage of Peptidoglycan by
Lysozyme: Two Successive SN2
Steps ModelAsp 52 acts as a nucleophileto attack the anomeric
carbon in the first SN2 step
Glu 35 acts as a general acidand protonates theleaving group in the transition state.
Water hydrolyzes the covalent glycosyl-enzyme
intermediate
Glu 35 acts as a general baseto deprotonate water
in the second SN2 step
