The hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates by enzymes is used as a regulation mechanism in key biological processes. Here, the GTP hydrolysis of the protein complex of Ras with its GTPase-activating protein is monitored at atomic resolution in a noncrystalline state by time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy. At 900 ms, after the attack of water at the gamma-phosphate, there appears a H2PO4- intermediate that is shown to be hydrogen-bonded in an eclipsed conformation to the beta-phosphate of GDP. The H2PO4- intermediate is in a position where it can either reform GTP or be released from the protein in 7 s in the rate-limiting step of the GTPase reaction. We propose that such an intermediate also occurs in other GTPases and ATPases.
