Abstract

The results of cryo‐measurements of the kinetics of the human dihydrofolate reductase (HsDHFR) catalyzed reaction and the effects of protein motion on catalysis are reported. Isotopic enzyme labeling revealed an enzyme KIE (kHLE/kHHE) close to unity above 0 °C; however, the enzyme KIE was increased to 1.72±0.15 at −20 °C, indicating that the coupling of protein motions to the chemical step is minimized under optimal conditions but enhanced at non‐physiological temperatures.
