Abstract

In this study, the second-order rate constant k2 of base-catalyzed hydrolysis and the values of kcat, Km and kcat/Km of wild-type Pseudomonas sp. CBS3 4-hydroxybenzoyl coenzyme A (4-HBA-CoA) thioesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of 4-HBA-CoA and its para-substituted analogs were measured. For the base-catalyzed hydrolysis, the plot of logk2 vs the σ value of the para-substituents was linear with a slope (ρ) of 1.5. In the case of the enzyme- ...
