Hydrogen tunneling in enzyme reactions has played an important role in linking protein thermal motions to the chemical steps of catalysis. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) have served as model systems for such reactions, showcasing deep hydrogen tunneling mechanisms associated with enzymatic C–H bond cleavage from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we examined the effect of solvent viscosity on the protein thermal motions associated with LOX catalysis using trehalose and glucose as viscogens. Kinetic analysis of the reaction of the paradigm plant orthologue, soybean lipoxygenase (SLO), with linoleic acid revealed no effect on the first-order rate constants,kcat, or activation energy,Ea. Further studies of SLO active site mutants displaying varyingEas, which have been used to probe catalytically relevant motions, likewise provided no evidence for viscogen-dependent motions. Kinetic analyses were extended to a representative fungal LOX fromM. oryzae, MoLOX, and a human LOX, 15-LOX-2. WhileMoLOX behaved similarly to SLO, we show that viscogens inhibit 15-LOX-2 activity. The latter implicates viscogen sensitive, conformational motions in animal LOX reactions. The data provide insight into the role of water hydration layers in facilitating hydrogen (quantum) tunneling in LOX.
