In the pаper by Tоney & Kirsch thаt wаs examined during this mоdule, оne of the small exogenous amines used to rescue the K258A mutant of aspartate aminotransferase was 2-fluroethylamine. The pKa value of 2-fluorethylamine is 9.0. The reaction rates were measured for the mutant enzyme in the presence of 2-fluoroethylamine and, at a given pH, the rate increased linearly with increasing 2-fluoroethylamine concentration. At pH 8.7, the rates of reaction catalyzed by mutant enzyme rescued with 2-fluoroethylamine were lower than at pH 9.2. Based on your knowledge of the mechanism of aspartate aminotransferase, please explain why carrying out the reaction at pH 9.2, which is above the pKa of 2-fluoroethylamine, increases the rate of the reaction relative to pH 8.7, which is below the pKa of 2-fluoroethylamine.
