Automated structural analysis ofSporobolomyces salmonicolorcarbonyl reductase (SSCR) indicates that the two largest potential receptor sites are in the vicinity of the nicotinamide reductant. The largest receptor site is a scalene triangle with sides of ∼8 Å by 9 Å by 13 Å, which is narrow in width; one corner is surrounded by hydrophilic residues that can favorably bond with the ketone oxygen. Docking aryl alkyl ketones shows a distinct preference for binding to the largest receptor site, and for conformations that place the carbonyl oxygen of the substrate in the hydrophilic corner of the largest receptor site. Favorable docking conformations for aryl alkyl ketones fall into two low-energy ensembles. These conformational ensembles are distinguished by the positions of the substituents, presenting either theSi-orRe-face of the ketone to the nicotinamide reductant. For the ketones investigated here, there is a correspondence between the major enantiomer of the alcohol obtained from the reduction of the ketone and the conformer found to have the most stable interaction energy with the receptor site in all cases. The receptor site modeling, docking simulations, molecular dynamics, and enzyme-substrate geometry optimizations lead to a model for understanding the enantioselectivity of this NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase.FigureReceptor site model for NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase
