Project Summary/Abstract. (From Original Proposal) The interactions of coupled binuclear copper sites and dioxygen have been extensively studied in contexts crucial to life. This contrasts with analogous interactions between mononuclear copper sites and dioxygen, which are less well understood despite their importance in clinical, biological, and industrial settings. As such, furthering our understanding of these enzymes' mechanisms of action would have far reaching implications across a wide set of disciplines. This project focuses on mechanistic elucidation of the oxidative behaviors of three di erent monooxyge- nases featuring single copper active sites: tyramine -monooxygenase (T M), lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), and particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO). The rst, T M, is closely related to human dopamine -monooxygenase (D M) and participates in invertebrate neurotransmitter regulation. As a noncoupled binuclear copper enzyme, it features two copper centers separated by 11 A, only one of which engages with O2. Out- standing questions on the timing of O2 binding to the reduced enzyme, hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA), and intermetallic electron transfer persist. The second enzyme, LPMO, has large industrial applications in renewable biofuels and has also been implicated as a virulence factor in several pathogens. Its active site comprises a single copper ion coordinated to two histidine residues and the N -terminal amine in a rare \histidine brace" geometry. Computational results inform the planned experiments, suggesting several mechanistic possibilities; though, some recent reports have questioned the role of O2 in favor of H2O2. The last enzyme, pMMO, is important in con- version of methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas, into methanol, a renewable fuel. It has long been thought to possess a coupled binuclear copper active site, but has recently been reappraised to have a mononuclear copper site also engaged in a histidine brace structural motif. This new suggestion means there is little mechanistic insight available, though it draws parallels between pMMO and LPMO. The project ultimately aims to shed light on how these enzymes oxidize their substrates, and to uncover useful and generalizable structure-function relations to be exploited in further clinical and industrial applications. Our speci c aims involve investigation of each class of enzyme using a battery of spectroscopies to uncover informative intermediates, capitalizing on the extensive instrumentation and experience available in the Solomon lab. As many of these transformations involve para- magnetic species, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) experiments will allow direct interrogation of the copper center, particularly in combination with rapid freeze quench (RFQ) techniques. Additionally, stopped ow absorption, resonance Raman (rR), X-ray absorption (XAS), and X-ray emission (XES) will be heavily employed, especially when studying diamagnetic states. All of these studies will be supported by thorough computational investigations using density functional theory (DFT) methods, which will allow for further insight into the electronic structures and reaction energies. The training plan involves immersion in these spectroscopic techniques and in the eld of bioinorganic chemistry, all of which are new to the applicant.
