Carboxypeptidase A (CPA) is a zinc-containing metalloprotease that removes the amino acid residue from the C-terminal of a peptide chain. It has been one of the most intensively studied enzymes in catalytic MIP field. The catalytic action of CPA involves two guanidinium groups and a Zn2+ ion. filexlib. The catalytic mechanism of carboxypeptidase A (CPA) for the hydrolysis of ester substrates is investigated using hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods and high-level density functional theory. The prevailing mechanism was found to utilize an active-site water molecule assisted by Glu270, and this so-called promoted-water pathway is similar to that in the CPA catalyzed

In an attempt to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of action of carboxypeptidase A (EC 3.4.2.1), many kinetic studies have been undertaken using numerous substrates—both esters and peptides—that have exhibited substrate linearity, inhibition, activation, and sigmoid-shaped rate plots.
Mechanism [ edit] Classified as a metalloexopeptidase, carboxypeptidase A consists of a single polypeptide chain bound to a zinc ion. This characteristic metal ion is located within the active site of the enzyme, along with five amino acid residues that are involved in substrate binding: Arg-71, Arg-127, Asn-144, Arg-145, Tyr-248, and Glu-270.

(a) Because the substrate and the active site of the enzyme have complementary structures and bonding groups, they fit together as a key fits a lock. (b) The catalytic reaction occurs while the two are bonded together in the enzyme-substrate complex.
(a) Mechanism of peptide hydrolysis. Alternative possibilities could include a water molecule between group B and the carbonyl carbon. ( b)Mechanism of ester hydrolysis: the relative ionic radii of Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ are indicated. The original mechanistic scheme (Vallee et al. 1963) is presented in figure 1. Binding and
Carboxypeptidases are enzymes that break down proteins into their constituent amino acids. Carboxypeptidase A (CPA) and Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) are involved in digestion. CPA is further divided into A1 and A2 isoforms. Uploaded on Jul 31, 2014 Xanti Rosa + Follow water active site durham mcdowall peptide bonds human procarboxypeptidase a2 u s a
