An 8-thionocephalosporin was shown to be a substrate of the beta-lactamase II of Bacillus cereus, a zinc metalloenzyme. Although it is a poorer substrate, as judged by the Kcat./Km parameter, than the corresponding 8-oxocephalosporin, the discrimination against sulphur decreased when the bivalent metal ion in the enzyme active site was varied in the order Mn2+ (the manganese enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of the oxo compound but not that of the thiono compound), Zn2+, Co2+ and Cd2+. This result is taken as evidence for kinetically significant direct contact between the active-site metal ion of beta-lactamase II and the beta-lactam carbonyl heteroatom. No evidence was obtained, however, for accumulation of an intermediate with such co-ordination present.
一种8-硫代头孢菌素被证明是蜡状芽孢杆菌β-内酰胺酶II(一种锌金属酶)的底物。尽管根据催化常数/米氏常数参数判断,它是比相应的8-氧代头孢菌素更差的底物,但当酶活性位点中的二价金属离子按Mn2+(锰酶催化氧代化合物的水解但不催化硫代化合物的水解)、Zn2+、Co2+和Cd2+的顺序变化时,对硫的歧视性降低。该结果被视为β-内酰胺酶II活性位点金属离子与β-内酰胺羰基杂原子之间存在动力学上显著直接接触的证据。然而,没有获得存在这种配位中间体积累的证据。
