The Proton Inventory (PI) method has been applied in the hydrolysis of synthetic substrates by papain, chymopapain and stem bromelain, comparing also their corresponding pH–(kcat/Km) profiles, and it was found: (a) kcat/Km = k1, and thus KS = k2/k1 is a dynamic equilibrium constant, (b) bowed-downward PI for kcat/Km exhibiting large inverse SIE, and (c) linear PI exhibiting large normal SIE for KS, k2 and k3. A novel finding of this work is that the association of substrates onto all three studied cysteine proteinases proceeds via a stepwise pathway, in contrast to purely concerted pathways found previously for both acylation and deacylation. A hydrogen bond, which seems more likely to be developed across a pKa-value close to 4.00, connecting DCOO-158 and/or NOδ1157, with the positively charged HNδ1-Hδ1159 and/or HNδ1-Hδ1158 (papain/chymopapain or bromelain numbering), constitutes another novelty of this work.
