The second-order rate constants (k) for the reactions of 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide (pKa2,45) with 2-mercaptoethanol (pKa9.6) and with benzimidazol-2-ylmethanethiol (pKa values 5.6 and 8.3) were determined at 25 degrees C at I 0.1 by stopped-flow spectral analysis over a wide range of pH. These were used to calculate the pH-independent second-order rate constants (k) for the reactions of neutral 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide and of its monocation with the 2-mercaptoethanol thiolate anion (associated pKa9.6) and with the benzimidazol-2-ylmethanethiol zwitterion (associated pKa5.6). For both thiolate ions, the rate-enhancement factor (kmonocation/kneutral disulphide) is about 1.5x10(3). The dependence on pH in acidic media of k for the reaction of 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide with actinidin, the thiol proteinase from Actinidia chinensis, was shown to differ from the forms of pH-dependence observed for the analogous reactions with papain (EC 3.4.22.2) and ficin (3.4.22.3). The reactivity of the 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide dication and its apparent sensitivity to the presence and location of a positive charge in the attacking thiol are discussed.
通过停流光谱分析,在25℃、离子强度I = 0.1的条件下,于较宽的pH范围内测定了2,2'-二吡啶二硫化物(pKa2.45)与2-巯基乙醇(pKa9.6)以及与苯并咪唑-2-基甲硫醇(pKa值为5.6和8.3)反应的二级速率常数(k)。这些数据用于计算中性2,2'-二吡啶二硫化物及其单阳离子与2-巯基乙醇硫醇阴离子(相关pKa9.6)以及与苯并咪唑-2-基甲硫醇两性离子(相关pKa5.6)反应的与pH无关的二级速率常数(k)。对于这两种硫醇阴离子,速率增强因子(k单阳离子/k中性二硫化物)约为1.5×10³。结果表明,2,2'-二吡啶二硫化物与中华猕猴桃的硫醇蛋白酶猕猴桃蛋白酶反应的k在酸性介质中对pH的依赖性,与观察到的其与木瓜蛋白酶(EC 3.4.22.2)和无花果蛋白酶(3.4.22.3)类似反应的pH依赖性形式不同。本文讨论了2,2'-二吡啶二硫化物二价阳离子的反应活性及其对进攻硫醇中正电荷的存在和位置的明显敏感性。
