The isomerization of specifically 3H-labeled [1(R)-3H]dihydroxyacetone phosphate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, catalyzed by the enzyme triosephosphate isomerase, was studied. The distribution of the 3H label among the 3 possible sites (in [1(R)-3H]dihydroxyacetone phosphate, in D-[2-3H]glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, and in the solvent) was followed as a function of the extent of the reaction. The extent of transfer of the 3H label from the substrate dihydroxyacetone phosphate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is between 3 and 6% (depending upon the extent of the reaction). The enzymic base responsible for proton abstraction from substrate is, therefore, in almost complete isotopic equilibrium with the solvent. The remaining substrate after partial reaction increases in specific radioactivity as the reaction proceeds, showing that the preferential reaction of 1H substrate is more important than the washing out of 3H label at the stage of the exchanging intermediate Quantitatively, these results provide the data for the 1st step in the analysis described in the previous paper.
