The stereoselective hydrolysis of the long-chain substrate (p-nitrophenyl n-dodecanoyl-D(L)-phenylalanininate, D(L)-S12) in surfactant aggregates has been found to be easily controlled by changing the reaction temperature, amino acid sequence in peptide catalysts, and composition of the aggregates. First, the stereoselectivity (reflected in kLa,obsd/kDa,obsd) for the hydrolysis of S12 in the catalytic system of N-tetradecanoyl-L-histidyl-L-leucine (MyrHisLeu) and dialkyldimethylammonium bromide (2CnBr; n=14, 16) was elevated at temperatures somewhat higher than the aggregate phase transitions. Interestingly, the optimum temperature (25.degree. C) for enantioselectivity in the 2C14Br vesicular system was in fair agreement with the inflection point (25.degree. C) in the polarization-temperature dependence of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene as a probe in the hydrophobic region of the vesicles. These results suggest that the hydrophobic microenvironment of the membrane matrix (2CnBr) changes at the optimum temperature for the great enhancement of steroselectivity. Second, the LLL-tripeptide N-(benzyloxy-carbonyl)-L-phenylalanyl-L-histidyl-L-leucine (Z-PheHisLeu) was most efficient for the enhancement of enantioselectivity (affording kLa,obsd/kDa,obsd=27) among all the peptide catalysts in this study. Furthermore, a large enhanced enantioselectivity was obtained for the hydrolysis of S12 with Z-PheHisLeu in a coaggregate system, which was composed of the double- and single-chain cationic surfactants. Especially noteworthy is the fact that the high enantioselectivity (kLa,obsd/kDa,obsd=27) of S12 with Z-PheHisLeu in the vesicular system of 2C14Br (1 mM) was elevated dramatically by the addition of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and reached the enantiomer rate constant ratio (kLa,obsd)=71 at 25.degree. C in coaggregates of 33 mol % 2C14Br/67 mol % CTAB. These coaggregates appear to be large and rodlike particles with diameters of 600-1600 .ANG. from electron microscopic and dynamic light-scattering results. Finally, with respect to the origin of enantioselectivity, it is emphasized on the basis of circular dichroism experiments that the fitting of the L isomer substrate (L-S12) and the active tripeptide (Z-PheHisLeu) having a hydrophobic pocket through the intramolecular interactions of amino acid residues should be extremely important to enhance the enantioselectivity and, subsequently, the adjusting of the hhdrophobic microenvironment to the optimum fit of reactants by changing the composition of coaggregates would induce the highest enantioselectivity.
