Abstract
The α-chymotrypsin catalysed kinetically controlled peptide synthesis in water and in biphasic water-methyl iso-butyl ketone system was compared. Due to the substrate and product partitioning in the biphasic system an interchange of the reaction control was observed at high enzyme concentration. Under these conditions, the rate of mass transfer between the phases was the rate limiting step and the hydrolysis product concentration was found to have a transient maximum ≫ equilibrium value. In this case, most of the peptide was sythetized in a thermodynamically controlled process. In an aqueous one phase system, the peptide synthesis was kinetically controlled.
