Advantage was taken of the reversibility of the first step of ribonuclease-A action to synthesize the dinucleoside phosphorothioate Up(S)C from the crystalline isomer of uridine 2',3'-cyclic phosphorothioate [Up(S)] and cytidine. Cyclic phosphorothioate was then reformed from Up(S)C by a nonenzymic reaction known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. The geometry of the enzymic reaction was determined to be in-line by a comparison of the Up(S) product with the Up(S) originally used. By the principle of microscopic reversibility, the geometry of the first step in the action of ribonuclease-A is shown to be in-line.
利用核糖核酸酶A作用第一步的可逆性,从尿苷2',3'-环硫代磷酸酯[Up(S)]的结晶异构体和胞苷合成了二核苷硫代磷酸酯Up(S)C。然后通过已知按内式机制进行的非酶反应,由Up(S)C重新形成环硫代磷酸酯。通过将Up(S)产物与最初使用的Up(S)进行比较,确定酶促反应的几何形状为内式。根据微观可逆性原理,核糖核酸酶A作用第一步的几何形状显示为内式。
