Abstract

Abstract: The kinetics of the irreversible reaction of 0-, rn-, and p-methyl-and-trifluoromethyl- substituted N-phenyl-a-bromoacetamides with a-chymotrypsin have been studied at pH 6.0. Dissociation constants for the initially formed enzyme-inhibitor complexes have been determined or estimated and rate constants for reaction of these complexes to give inhibited proteins have been obtained. The para position seems to be most sensitive to substitution; ...
