The influence of solvent viscosity on the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of a series of dipeptides (Z-Phe-Gly, Z-Phe-Sar, Z-Phe-Ala, Z-Phe-NMeAla, Z-Phe-Aib and Z-Phe-Pro) by carboxypeptidase Y was investigated. The effect of solvent viscosity on the enzymatic hydrolysis revealed that whereas all k(cat) values decreased with viscosity, those of the N-alkyl peptides decreased more than those of the N-H peptides. The kinetic behaviour implies the involvement of conformational changes of the enzyme in terms of the 'induced-fit' process. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
