Scheme 4.

Scheme 4

Overall reaction scheme of Pf-Sir2 catalyzed reactions. Top scheme depicts solvolytic chemistry in the absence of peptide which gives inversion of stereochemistry (reaction a). Bottom scheme depicts acetyllysine dependent chemistries which occur via the imidate including base exchange (reaction b), solvolysis from the imidate (reaction c) and deacetylation (reaction d)
