Theoretical investigation of the reaction mechanism of THP oxidative rearrangement catalysed by BBOX†
γ-Butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBOX) is a non-heme FeII/2OG dependent enzyme that is able to perform two different kinds of catalytic reactions on 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium) propionate (THP) to produce distinct catalytic products. Although the structure of BBOX complexed with THP has been resolved, the details of its catalytic mechanism are still elusive. In this study, by employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the mechanism of the THP oxidative rearrangement reactions catalysed by BBOX was investigated. Our calculations revealed how the enzyme undergoes a conformational conversion to initiate the catalytic reactions. In the first catalytic step, BBOX performs hydrogen abstraction from the substrate THP as a common non-heme iron enzyme. Due to the structure of the substrate stabilizing the radical species and polarizing the adjacent N–N bond, in the next step, THP takes the pathway for N–N bond homolysis but not regular hydroxyl rebounding. The cleaved ammonium radical could either react with the hydroxyl group on the iron centre of the enzyme or recombine with the other cleaved fragment of the substrate to generate the rearranged product. This study revealed the catalytic mechanism of BBOX, detailing how the enzyme and the substrate regulated the hydroxyl rebound process to generate various products.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
