The interaction of a series of derivatives of tyrosine with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) was studied by using optical difference spectroscopy, c.d. and proton n.m.r. spectroscopy in order to reveal differences in the mode of binding of L-tyrosine and D-tyrosine, which are substrates of but react at different rates with the two peroxidases, to HRP and LPO. All the donor molecules form 1:1 complexes with HRP and LPO, but they display a range of affinities for the enzymes. Whereas D-tyrosine binds to HRP more strongly than does L-tyrosine, the opposite holds for the binding to LPO. The distances of the protons of bound tyrosine molecules from the haem iron atoms of HRP and LPO indicate that the site of binding of these substrates is the same as that of simple phenols. This involves the interaction of the phenol nucleus with a protein tyrosine residue [Sakurada, Takahashi &amp; Hosoya (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9657-9662; Modi, Behere &amp; Mitra (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 996, 214-225]. However, for the present substrates the additional interaction of the carboxylate group with a protein residue (probably an arginine residue) provides further stabilization for the adducts HRP-D-tyrosine and LPO-L-tyrosine with respect to the corresponding complexes with the opposite enantiomers. The differences in the mode of binding of L-tyrosine and D-tyrosine to HRP and LPO is thus determined by the fact that the spatial arrangement of the interacting protein residues can recognize the chirality of the C(alpha)-CO2- and C(beta)-C6H4OH attachment bonds of the substrates.
