The principle of transition state affinity requires the development during enzyme catalysis of very powerful forces of attraction between the enzyme and the altered form of the substrate that is present in the transition state. > This principle has served as a basis for the synthesis of some very strong reversible enzyme inhibitors/" and may also in principle be useful in the design of affinity labeling reagents. The latter possibility remains to be explored, but seems already to be partly substantiated by a few serendipitous examples of inhibitors of glycosidases and proteases. 

The other major casein in cheese is /3-casein, but it is generally not hydrolyzed by rennet in low-pH cheeses. Alkaline milk protease (plas-min) plays the major role in the hydrolysis of /3-casein (Richardson and Pearce 1981). The plasmin level in cheese is related to the pH of the curd at whey drainage, since plasmin dissociates from casein micelles as the pH is decreased. Richardson and Pearce (1981) found two or three times more plasmin activity in Swiss cheese than in Cheddar cheese. Swiss cheese curds are drained at pH 6.4 or higher, while Cheddar cheese curds are drained at pH 6.3 or lower. Proteolysis of /3-casein is significantly inhibited by 5% sodium chloride. The inhibitory influence of sodium chloride is most likely due to alteration of /3-casein or a reduction in the attractive forces between enzyme and substrate (Fox and Walley 1971). 

The MIFs obtained from qrtochrome enzymes are subsequently transformed and simplified as shown in Fig. 12.4. A three-dimensional grid map (3D map) may be viewed as a 3D matrix that contains forces of attraction and repulsion between a chemical probe and a protein. A 3D map is an image of the CYP-probe molecular interactions in which each pixel contains information about the cartesian coordinates and a physicochemical interaction. In cytochrome, where a catalytic reaction has to take place, all the 3D map information can be compressed and refers to the... 

The fecat/J M ratios of the enzymes superoxide dismutase, acetylcholinesterase, and triosephosphate isomerase are between 10 and lO" s Enzymes such as these that have fecat/ M ratios at the upper limits have attained kinetic perfection. Their catalytic velocity is restricted only by the rate at which they encounter substrate in the solution (Table 8.8). Any further gain in catalytic rate can come only by decreasing the time for diffusion. Remember that the active site is only a small part of the total enzyme structure. Yet, for catalytically perfect enzymes, every encounter between enzyme and substrate is productive. In these cases, there may be attractive electrostatic forces on the enzyme that entice the substrate to the active site. These forces are sometimes referred to poetically as Circe effects. 

Typically, the attraction between the molecules of the enzyme and its substrate molecules is noncovalent binding. Physical forces used in this type of binding include hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces.
