The hydrolysis was studied of potassium (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate by two analogous, optically stereospecific, secondary alkylsulphohydrolases purified from two detergent-degrading micro-organisms, Comamonas terrigena and Pseudomonas C12B. Polarimetry studies have shown that (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate prepared from (+)-octan-2-ol is hydrolysed by both enzymes to yield (-)-octan-2-ol. This inversion of configuration implies that the enzymes are catalysing the scission of the C-O bond of the C-O-S linkage, a type of bond scission apparently not hitherto encountered among hydrolytic enzymes acting on ester bonds. Enzymic hydrolysis of potassium (+)-octan-2-yl sulphate in the presence of H218O and analysis of hydrolysis products for the presence of 18O has confirmed that C-O bond scission (and not O-S bond scission) occurs with both enzymes.
研究了从两种降解洗涤剂的微生物——土生丛毛单胞菌和假单胞菌C12B中纯化得到的两种类似的、具有光学立体特异性的仲烷基硫酸水解酶对(+)-辛-2-基硫酸钾的水解作用。旋光测定研究表明,由(+)-辛-2-醇制备的(+)-辛-2-基硫酸酯被这两种酶水解生成(-)-辛-2-醇。这种构型反转意味着这些酶催化了C-O-S键中C-O键的断裂,这种键的断裂显然是迄今为止作用于酯键的水解酶中尚未遇到过的一种类型。在H₂¹⁸O存在的情况下对(+)-辛-2-基硫酸钾进行酶促水解,并分析水解产物中¹⁸O的存在情况,证实这两种酶都发生了C-O键的断裂(而不是O-S键的断裂)。
