Hydrogen atom transfer reactions between the substrate and coenzyme are key mechanistic features of all adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzymes. For one of these enzymes, glutamate mutase, we have investigated whether hydrogen tunneling makes a significant contribution to the mechanism by examining the temperature dependence of the deuterium kinetic isotope effect associated with the transfer of a hydrogen atom from methylaspartate to the coenzyme. To do this, we designed a novel intramolecular competition experiment that allowed us to measure the intrinsic kinetic isotope effect, even though hydrogen transfer may not be rate-determining. From the Arrhenius plot of the kinetic isotope effect, the ratio of the pre-exponential factors (AH/AD) was 0.17 ± 0.04 and the isotope effect on the activation energy [ΔEa(D−H)] was 1.94 ± 0.13 kcal/mol. The results imply that a significant degree of hydrogen tunneling occurs in glutamate mutase, even though the intrinsic kinetic isotope effects are well within the semiclassical limit and are much smaller than those measured for other AdoCbl enzymes and model reactions for which hydrogen tunneling has been implicated.
