A set of enzymes, HydG, HydE, and HydF, are responsible for the biosynthesis of the [2Fe]<sub><i>H</i></sub> subcluster. Among them, it is well established that HydG cleaves tyrosine into CO and CN<sup>-</sup> and forms a mononuclear [Fe(II)(Cys)(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CN)] complex. Recent work using EPR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography show that HydE uses this organometallic Fe complex as its native substrate. The low spin Fe(II) center is reduced into an adenosylated Fe(I) species, which is proposed to form an Fe(I)Fe(I) dimer within HydE. The highly unusual transformation catalyzed by HydE draws interest in both biochemistry and organometallic chemistry. Due to the instability of the substrate, the intermediates, and the proposed product, experimental characterization of the detailed HydE mechanism and its final product is challenging. Herein, the catalytic mechanism of HydE is studied using hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulations. A radical relay mechanism was found for the cleavage of the cysteine S-Cβ bond that is energetically favored with respect to a closed-shell mechanism involving unconventional proton transfer. In addition, we propose a pathway for the dimerization of two Fe(I) complexes within the HydE hydrophobic cavity, which is consistent with the recent experimental result that HydF can perform [FeFe]-hydrogenase maturation with a synthetic dimer complex as the substrate.

However, in aqueous energy storage systems, interfacial side reactions, predominantly attributed to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), result in significant self-discharge, which is concomitant with the deterioration of both voltage and capacity. Herein, we propose the construction of a ferrocyanide “skin” on transition metal compounds (TMCs) to mitigate this issue. This engineered “skin” creates Fe–C≡N terminations, initiating a new reaction pathway featured by the bonding process of N–O and N–H bonds. This reaction pathway presents a significant energy barrier, effectively shielding the active sites for the OER from H<sub>2</sub>O molecules and hydroxyl ions. Taking NiO as an example, the ferrocyanide “skin” effectively suppresses the undesired phase transition from NiOOH to Ni(OH)<sub>2</sub> during the idling process of a fully charged electrode, enabling the as-modified electrode to achieve a remarkable voltage retention of 80.0% after 1 week of idling within a device. Furthermore, this concept demonstrates extensive applicability, extending to a range of TMC materials, including but not limited to manganese oxide, vanadium oxide, and nickel cobalt oxide. These findings highlight the efficacy of the ferrocyanide “skin” design strategy as a broadly applicable paradigm for suppressing H<sub>2</sub>O-induced undesirable phase transitions in aqueous energy storage devices.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we report a host–guest-chemistry-mediated biomimetic chemoenzymatic approach for the efficient synthesis of diverse complex GSLs. A key feature of this approach is that the use of methyl-β-cyclodextrin enables amphipathic glycolipids forming water-soluble inclusion complexes to improve their solubility in aqueous media, thereby facilitating enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

The active Co sites of the catalyst are involved in the mild reduction processes with formic acid, whereas the N-doped carbon support enriches the HCHO and acrylates by physical adsorption, thus favoring the capture of hydroxylamine and nitrone intermediates via condensation and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, respectively.

Based on developed three-dimensional free energy and a continuous-time random-walk coarse-graining method, we found the optimal diffusion pathway under confinement, determined all diffusional energy barriers, and identified the major units of zeolite where molecular diffusion is limited. Interestingly, a novel diffusion mechanism was determined in the nanopore of a zeolite catalyst by molecular dynamics simulation, pulsed field gradient, and 2D exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) NMR experiments. We describe a “molecular self-gating effect” that effectively predominates the diffusion process in cage-type (e.g., RHO and MER) zeolites through a “traffic jam” and a “smooth traffic” process. Initially, transport is hindered by molecules forming a gate (traffic jam); then, as the number of molecules reaches a certain threshold, diffusion increases rapidly due to the synergistic collisions of aggregated molecules upon the gate (smooth traffic). This unique diffusion behavior is observed here for the first time and illustrates a microscopic mechanism dictated by the molecular self-gating effect in a confined space. The exploitable diffusion disclosed herein should shed new light on the fundamental understanding of transport, as well as enrich diffusion behavior under confinement.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
