Owing to simple components and inherent chirality, nucleotide hybrid catalysts are emerging in response to soving the unclear locations of catalytic centers and the plausible catalytic mechanisms in DNA-based asymmetric catalysis. However, the tertiary structure of nucleotides lacks tunability, severely impeding further design of nucleotide hybrid catalysts for potential applications. To this end, a design strategy for tunable nucleotide hybrid catalysts is put forward by introducing metal-mediated base pairs. Herein, we found that the formation of uracil‑mercury(II)-uracil (U-Hg<sup>2+</sup>-U) base pairs could enhance the enantioselectivity in uracil-containing nucleotide-based asymmetric reactions. Compared with uracil triphosphate (UTP) complexing with Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions (UTP∙Cu<sup>2+</sup>), the presence of Hg<sup>2+</sup> ions gave rise to an increased enantiomeric excess (ee) of 38 % in Diels-Alder reactions and 22 % ee in Michael reactions. The Hg<sup>2+</sup>-tuning behaviors of UTP hybrid catalyst have been demonstrated to largely depend on nucleotides, Hg<sup>2+</sup> concentrations, metal cofactors, additives and reaction types. Based on ultraviolet-visible, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques, the chiral enhancement of Hg<sup>2+</sup>-containing UTP hybrid catalyst is proved to largely depend on the formation of U-Hg<sup>2+</sup>-U base pairs and the plausible cross-linked structure of UTP-Hg<sup>2+</sup>-UTP/Cu<sup>2+</sup> assembly.

Vibrational spectroscopic techniques play a key role in the investigation of these metalloenzymes. For instance, resonance Raman spectroscopy has been introduced as a site-selective approach for probing metal-ligand coordinates of the [NiFe] active site and FeS clusters. Despite its success, this approach is still challenged by a limited number of detectable active-site states – due to missing resonance enhancement or intrinsic light sensitivity – and difficulties in their assignment. Utilizing two oxygen-tolerant [NiFe] hydrogenases as model systems, we illustrate how these challenges can be met by extending excitation and detection wavelength regimes in resonance Raman spectroscopic studies. Specifically, we observe that this technique does not only probe low-frequency metal-ligand vibrations but also high-frequency intra-ligand modes of the diatomic CO/CN<sup>−</sup> ligands at the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenases. These reporter vibrations are routinely probed by infrared absorption spectroscopy, so that direct comparison of spectra from both techniques allows an unambiguous assignment of states detected by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, we find that a previously undetected state featuring a bridging hydroxo ligand between Ni and Fe can be probed using higher excitation wavelengths, as photoconversion occurring at lower wavelengths is avoided. In summary, this study expands the applicability of resonance Raman spectroscopy to hydrogenases and other complex metalloenzymes by introducing new strategies for probing and assigning redox-structural states of the active site.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":364,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142320357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
