Energetics of triosephosphate isomerase: the appearance of solvent tritium in substrate dihydroxyacetone phosphate and in product.

When the isomerization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase in tritiated water, both the substrate and product become labeled. The specific radioactivity of the product is about 80% that of the solvent, which shows that the protonation of the enediol intermediate at C-2 (to form the enzyme-bound product D-glceraldehyde 3-phosphate) is followed by a slower step not involving proton transfer. The specific radioactivity of the remaining substrate after partial reaction rises as the reaction proceeds and shows that the reaction intermediate that exchanges protons with the medium returns to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (picking up tritium) about one-third as often as it is converted to D-glceraldehyde 3-phosphate. These results allow a qualitative description of the relative heights of the energy barriers in the catalyzed reaction and contribute to the quantitative analysis of the energetics of the process.
