✦ Synopsis


The ionization constants of the tyrosyl groups of chymotrypsinogen and of nitrated-chymotrypsinogen (two tyrosyl residues nitrated) have been determined by difference spectrophotometry. In chymotrypsinogen. two of the four tyrosyl groups ionize without any time dependence. Above pH greater than ca. 12.5, time-dependent spectral changes are seen for 0.7 group equivalent. The data can be fitted to the values of pK', 9.75 f 0.07, pKi 11.55 f 0.05, pK' 13.30 f 0.05. In nitrated-chymotrypsinogen, the two nitrated tyrosyl residues have pK; 6.44 and pK; 8.30. For both proteins, these pK' values are in agreement with those evaluated from potentiometric titration and calorimetric data using computer-assisted curve-fitting analysis.

## Abstract Chymotrypsinogen, nitrated chymotrypsinogen (two of the four tyrosyls nitrated), acetylated chymotrypsinogen (all amino groups blocked), and nitrated‐acetylated chymotrypsinogen were titrated as __f__(pH) in an isoperibolic calorimeter at 20Β°C. After appropriate correction and reduction
