Allen R. Palmer, Paul D. Ellis, and Richard Wolfenden* abstract: Benzylsuccinic acid, a powerful inhibitorof car-boxypeptidase A, exhibits maximum inhibition at pH values where the inhibitor bears a single negative charge in solution. To establish the distribution of charges in the enzyme-inhibitor complex, this inhibitor was enriched with 13C at each of the2-Benzylsuccinate is an exceptionally powerful reversible inhibitor of carboxypeptidase A, competitive against hydrolysis of peptide and ester substrates (Byers & Wolfenden, 1972, 1973). This inhibitor (Figure 1A) has served as a point of departure for the design of drugs antagonistic to angiotensin-converting enzyme (Cushman et al., 1977; Patchett et al., 1980) and as an affinity ligand for the isolation of carboxy-peptidases (Peterson et al., 1976). Benzylsuccinate bears no obvious structural resemblance to chemical intermediates in substrate hydrolysis, nor does its affinity forcarboxypeptidase A change with changing pH in a way that resembles the influence of pH on Fm, for normal substrates, as might be expected for an ideal transition-state analogue. Relieved of the energetic burden of gathering several substrate molecules from dilute solution, enzymes are generally expected to show affinities for “multisubstrate analogues” that match or surpass their combined affinities for the individual substrates (Wolfenden, 1972). The unusual affinity of ben-zylsuccinate for carboxypeptidase seemed understandable in terms of its resemblance to the collected product of peptide
