Revised Manuscript Received July 11, 1995® abstract: Velocities for the synthesis of/3-D-galactopyranosyl derivatives by transfer of the galactosyl group from/3-galactosidase to seven alkyl alcohols, glucose, and azide ion have been determined as the difference in the velocities for/3-galactosidase-catalyzed cleavage of 4-nitrophenyl/3-D-galactopyranoside to give 4-nitrophenoxide anion (vpnp) and hydrolysis of this compound to give D-galactose Ocal)· Rate constant ratios£ roh/&s (M-1) for partitioning of the galactosylated enzyme between reaction with alkyl alcohols and solvent determined by this method are in good agreement with values of &roh/&s (M-1) determined by analysis of alcohol inhibition of enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides. Absolute rate constants£ roh (M-1 s-1) for reaction of alkyl alcohols with the galactosylated enzyme intermediate were calculated from the corresponding rate constant ratio¿ roh/^ s (M-1) and ks=710 s-1. A Brpnsted parameter of (/3 „uc) roh=—0.19±0.10 was determined from the second-order rate constants for the reactions of alcohols with the galactosylated enzyme. The large difference between (fiig) kcur/Km=—0.75±0.14 for cleavage of alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides to form the galactosylated enzyme and (/3nUc) ROH=—0.19 for the reverse synthesis reaction requires that the equilibrium constants for galactosyl group transfer from alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides to theenzyme increase sharply with decreasing pA" a of the alkyl alcohol leaving group. These data give/3eq=-0.56±0.05 for the reaction of alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides with ethanol to form ethyl/3-D-galactopyranoside and alkyl alcohol. Several effects that lead to this increased ease of cleavage of alkyl/3-D-galactopyranosides with decreasing basicity of the alkoxy group are discussed. A second-order rate constant of kck= 1.2 x 104 M-1 s-1 was determined for reaction of glucose with the galactosylated enzyme. The relatively low reactivity of glucose is surprising, because an earlier observation thatthe galactosylated enzyme complex generated by the cleavage of lactose undergoes release of glucose and synthesis of allolactose at nearly equal rates suggests that the binding of glucose to thegalactosylated enzyme should be partly irreversible and that it takes place near the encounter-controlled limit. The data suggest a significant stabilization of nonproductive complexes formed by binding of glucose to the galactosylated enzyme./3-Galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of/3-D-galactopyranosyl azide, but not the synthesis of this compound by reaction of azide ion with the galactosylated enzyme. This suggests that different forms of/3-galactosidase catalyze the cleavage and synthesis of/3-D-galactopyranosyl azide. This may correspond to a change in the state of ionization of the residue that participates in acid-base catalysis of the reaction in the cleavage and synthesis directions./3-Galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose and other/3-D-galactopyranosyl derivatives by a two-step mech-anism through a galactosyl—enzyme reaction intermediate. The large secondary-deuterium isotope effect of kulko—1.25 (Sinnott & Souchard, 1973) for the enzyme from Escherichia coli (lac Z) on the rate constant ks (s-1) for transfer of the galactosyl group from enzymeto water shows that there is a large change from sp3 to sp2 hybridization at carbon-1 of the galactosyl moiety on moving to the transition state for hydrolysis of the intermediate, which requires sp3-hybridized covalent attachment of the intermediate to the enzyme. The point of covalentattachment of the galactosyl
