Analysis of deuterium isotope effects (of B. subtilis L-alanine dehydrogenase) with L-alanine-d4 and L-serine-d3, and of pH profiles with the same substrates, shows that L-alanine is sticky (i.e., reacts to give products 1-7 times as fast as it dissociates) while L-serine is not. The pH profiles show that NH3 and monoanionic amino acids are the substrates; a cationic acid group on the enzyme (probably lysine) with a pK of 9.0-9.6 in E-NAD, but a pK well above 10 in E-NADH must be protonated for activity and good binding of inhibitors and is probably important for maintaining the proper conformation of the enzyme. A cationic acid group on the enzyme (probably histidine) with a pK around 7 in both E-NAD and E-NADH must be unprotonated for oxidation of amino acids but protonated for binding and reaction of pyruvate. This latter group is the acid-base catalyst for the chemical reaction. In E-NAD, it is so positioned that it can hydrogen bond to (and thus when protonated enhance the binding of) a D-hydroxy or a carbonyl group of an inhibitor, but its state of protonation does not affect the binding of L-lactate or propionate. In E-NADH, it is so placed that it can hydrogen bond to both D- and L-hydroxy groups, and carbonyl groups. A chemical mechanism is postulated in which the dehydrogenation of L-alanine by NAD to produce iminopyruvate is followed by attack of water from the same side from which the hydride was removed. The catalytic histidine transfers a proton from the attacking water to the amino group of the resulting carbinolamine and then removes a proton from the hydroxyl group of the carbinolamine as ammonia is eliminated to give pyruvate.
