However, there is literature reporting the retention of biological function in the primary electron transfer (ET) pathway-impaired mutants in some CRY species. In this work, a secondary ET pathway is identified in the animal-like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cryptochrome (CraCRY) in the opposite direction of the primary ET pathway, involving ultrafast electron tunneling and proton transfer. Through sequence alignment, it is found that the proximal Trp (W1') from the secondary ET pathway is conserved across all CRY species, which could be absent in the ancestral protein photolyases. This alternative ET pathway presumably triggers photoinduced conformational changes when the primary pathway is shut down upon random missense mutation, contributing to functional robustness.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"24 1","pages":"6615-6621"},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144328921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that amines are one of the most widely used capture agents for CO<sub>2</sub>, it would be desirable to electrochemically reduce the resultant adducts, such as carbamate, directly in RCC. However, current understanding suggests that the primary species undergoing reduction in RCC with amines is the CO<sub>2</sub> dissociated from the sorbent. Herein, we employ <i>ab initio</i> molecular dynamics (AIMD) with DFT to analyze how the nature of alkali metal cations in the electrolyte affects carbamate at the Cu surface, thereby assessing the possibility of promoting RCC by cation effects. The simulations show that the carbamate's orientation with respect to the electrode is governed by the optimal distance between the carbamate and the cation, specifically how this distance aligns with the cation's hydration spheres. Moreover, the slow-growth AIMD results indicate that the CO<sub>2</sub> dissociation barrier correlates with the orientation of carbamate at the interface. When the carbamate resides beyond the cation's first hydration sphere, it adopts a flat orientation with respect to the surface that promotes the release of CO<sub>2</sub> from the capture agent. In contrast, when the carbamate disrupts the first hydration sphere and exhibits a strong cation-π interaction, it adopts an upright orientation that is less conducive to CO<sub>2</sub> release. These findings reveal a nontrivial cation effect in RCC, suggesting that it should be possible to optimize RCC via the choice of the electrolyte.</p>","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":" ","pages":"6032-6039"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
