Contribution of water to free energy of hydrolysis of pyrophosphate.

The energy of hydrolysis of phosphate compounds varies depending on whether they are in solution or bound to the catalytic site of enzymes. With the purpose of simulating the conditions at the catalytic site, the observed equilibrium constant for pyrophosphate hydrolysis (Kobsd) was measured in aqueous mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, or polymers of ethylene glycol. The reaction was catalyzed by yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase at 30 degrees C. All the cosolvents used promoted a decrease of Kobsd. Polymers of ethylene glycol were more effective than dimethyl sulfoxide or ethylene glycol in decreasing Kobsd. The higher the molecular weight of the polymer, the lower the value of Kobsd. A decrease in Kobsd from 346 M (delta G degree obsd = -3.5 kcal mol-1) to 0.1 M (delta G degree obsd = 1.3 kcal mol-1) was observed after the addition of 50% (w/v) poly(ethylene glycol) 8000 to a solution containing 0.9 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM Pi at pH 8.0. The association constants of Pi and pyrophosphate for H+ and Mg2+ were measured in presence of different ethylene glycol concentrations in order to calculate the Keq for hydrolysis of different ionic species of pyrophosphate. A decrease in all the Keq was observed. The results are interpreted according to the concept that the energy of hydrolysis of phosphate compounds depends on the different solvation energies of reactants and products.
