Investigations were made of the inhibition of pepsin by pepstatin and nine synthetic analogs of pepstatin. Analysis of progress curve data indicated that the inhibition produced by pepstatin (1) conforms to a mechanism in which a rapidly formed enzyme-inhibitor complex (collision complex) is transformed slowly to a more tightly bound complex (tightened complex). Dissociation constants for the collision complexk2/k1and first-order rate constants for formation (k3) and reversal (k4) of the tightened complex are reported for pepstatin and nine pepstatin analogs. The data show that at least three structural parameters are needed to induce the lag transient characteristic of the tight-binding inhibition of pepsin by pepstatin. These are: a 3(S)-hydroxyl group in the third residue of pepstatin, an isopropyl group or its equivalent in the first residue, and some portion of the C-terminal dipeptidyl group -Ala-Sta. The data indicate that these groups interacted cooperatively to induce the timedependent increase in inhibition. Removal of any of these binding groups affected, predominatly,k4, the first-order rate constant for return of tightened complex to collision complex. The proposal that pepstatin is an analog of the transition state for pepsin catalyzed hydrolysis of amide bonds is discussed.
