In the case of the wild-type enzyme, isotope effects at 25 degrees C do not clearly support hydrogen tunneling; this result is consistent with a reaction rate that is partially limited by the release of product benzaldehyde. The three-dimensional structure for LADH was used to design site-directed mutations in an effort to enhance the rate of the product release step and to "unmask" tunneling. Substitutions that increased the size of the alcohol binding pocket resulted in minor changes in isotope effects. By contrast, reduction in the size of the alcohol binding pocket through substitution at residues 57 and 93, which are in van der Waals contact with bound alcohol substrate, produced a clear demonstration of protium tunneling from the breakdown of the semiclassical relationship between kD/kT and kH/kT isotope effects. The temperature dependence of kD/kT isotope effects has also been pursued, leading to the conclusion that tunneling does, in fact, occur in the reaction catalyzed by wild-type LADH. Despite the unmasking of protium tunneling in site-directed mutants, substitutions that decrease the size of the alcohol pocket appear to result in less extensive tunneling in the hydride transfer. It is noteworthy that the mutant enzyme (Leu57-->Phe), which shows the greatest evidence of tunneling, has the same catalytic efficiency (Vmax/Km) as the wild-type enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Unmasking of hydrogen tunneling in the horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase reaction by site-directed mutagenesis.,Bahnson BJ, Park DH, Kim K, Plapp BV, Klinman JP Biochemistry. 1993 Jun 1;32(21):5503-7.
