Our quantum chemical activation strain analyses demonstrate how Mg2+ lowers the barrier of the enzymatic triphosphate hydrolysis through two distinct mechanisms: (a) weakening of the leaving-group bond, thereby decreasing activation strain; and (b) transition state (TS) stabilization through enhanced electrophilicity of the triphosphate PPP substrate, thereby strengthening the interaction with the nucleophile.
我们的量子化学活化应变分析表明,Mg2+ 通过两种不同机制降低了酶促三磷酸水解的能垒:(a) 削弱离去基团键,从而降低活化应变;(b) 通过增强三磷酸 PPP 底物的亲电性来稳定过渡态 (TS),从而加强与亲核试剂的相互作用。
