9. Transpeptidation studies that are interpreted in terms of intermediates being generated and held by the enzyme long enough for a second substrate to be bound and peptide reformation to occur have been reported: Blum, M.; Cunningham, A.; Bendiver, M.; Hofmann, T. Biochem. Soc. Trans. 1985, 13, 1044–1046. This same possibility has been suggested by Kluger and Chin. Such intermediates may indeed by bound but not necessarily covalently linked to the enzymes at all times.
