Revised Manuscript Received July 11, 1995® abstract: Seven substituted alkyl pD-galactopyranosides 1-OR have been prepared and shown to be fair to excellent substrates for hydrolysis catalyzed by y3-galactosidase (Escherichia coli, lac Z). Brpnsted parameters of (fi\g)* 3=-0.49±0.13 and (Agl-V,,,=-0.75±0.14, respectively, were determined at pH8.6 for k3 (s-1), the first-order rate constant for cleavage of enzyme-bound 1-OR, and kcJKm (M_1 s-1), the second-order rate constant for reaction of the free enzyme and 1-OR. There is a weak correlation between log Xm andthe pKd of the alkyl alcohol leaving group, which is attributed to stabilization of the Michaelis complex by hydrophobic interactions between the enzyme and electron-withdrawing halogen substituents at the alkoxy leaving group. These binding interactions are probably both productive and expressed in the value of kcJKm and nonproductive and expressed in the value of &3. The negative values of ß\% are inconsistent with enzymatic catalysis of endocyclic cleavage of the glycosidic bond. The values of/? ig for enzyme-catalyzed cleavage of alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides lie between those observed for the spontaneous (fi\g%—1.25) and specific-acid-catalyzed (fi\g% 0) cleavage of acetals, and these pathways are therefore excluded for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Removal of the metal cofactor Mg2+ from the enzyme causes a~ 0.2 unit decrease in (fi\g) k3 for/3-galactosidase-catalyzed cleavage of 1-OR. The interpretation of this change in ß\$ is unclear. The Brpnsted coefficients for the/3-galactosidase-catalyzed reaction are consistent with participation by an essential catalytic residue in concerted general-acid catalysis of cleavage of the glycosidic bond of 1-OR and/or stabilization of developing negativecharge at the alkoxy oxygen by interaction with the magnesiumMany of the details of the mechanism for enzymatic catalysis of glycosyl transfer reactions are not well under-stood. Scheme 1 shows a working model for the first step for catalysis of glycosyl transfer with retention of configuration, which was first proposed after examination of an X-ray crystal structure of a lysozyme—inhibitor complex (Blake et al., 1967). This proposal is now supported by extensive results of model studies of nonenzymatic catalysis of acetal cleavage (Fife, 1975). This reaction mechanism is defined by the imperatives for catalysis of nucleophilic substitution of a poor alkoxide ion leaving group at glyco-
