A recent experimental bioengineering work shows that the core of Arylomycin can be efficiently synthesized by engineering Cytochrome P450 enzyme Streptomyces sp; however, the mechanism of the same was not elucidated. Herein, we have thoroughly investigated the mechanism behind the evolution of the enzyme for the synthesis of Arylomycin core via C-C bond formation in CYP450 enzyme using hybrid QM/MM calculations, MD simulations, and DFT calculations. We show that strategic mutations such as a) G-101A facilitate biaryl coupling by subtly pushing the substrate and b) Q-306→H mutation creates a strong pi-pi interaction with the substrate that brings the two phenol rings of the substrate closer to undergo C-C coupling. Importantly, our QM/MM calculations show that for an efficient C-C formation, the reaction should undergo via biradical mechanism over hydroxylation.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142580732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
