DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this research is to elucidate the reaction mechanisms of NO reduction that occur at heme and non-heme diiron centers of bacterial metalloenzymes. Our studies will focus on two enzymatic systems and related bioengineered or synthetic models: 1) NO-detoxifying flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) and 2) denitrifying NO reductases (denNORs). All of the proteins within these two families are known to reduce NO to the unreactive N2O product, but they do so with wide variation in efficiency and protein matrix structure. Although several of these proteins have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, the initial steps of NO binding, iron-nitrosyl reduction, and how these catalytic events differ between systems are not well understood. The coupling of resonance Raman, FTIR, and EPR spectroscopies with rapid-freeze-quench analyses provides unique capabilities to define NO-binding geometries at diiron clusters and to follow the N-N bond formation, N-O bond cleavage, and protonation steps that must take place to convert two NO molecules to N2O and H2O. Studying a diverse group of native enzymes and models will allow us to compare and contrast structural information on iron-nitrosyl intermediates and the efficiency of the reductive and proton transfer steps of this reaction.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的长期目标是阐明细菌金属酶的血红素和非血红素二铁中心发生的NO还原反应机制。我们的研究将集中在两个酶系统和相关的生物工程或合成模型：1）NO解毒黄二铁蛋白（FDP）和2）还原NO还原酶（denNORs）。已知这两个家族中的所有蛋白质都能将NO还原为非反应性N2 O产物，但它们的效率和蛋白质基质结构存在很大差异。虽然这些蛋白质中的几个已经通过X射线晶体学表征，但NO结合、铁-亚硝酰还原的初始步骤以及这些催化事件在系统之间的差异还不清楚。共振拉曼，FTIR和EPR光谱与快速冷冻淬火分析的耦合提供了独特的能力，以定义NO-结合的几何形状在二铁簇，并遵循N-N键形成，N-O键断裂，和质子化的步骤，必须发生两个NO分子转化为N2 O和H2O。研究一组不同的天然酶和模型将使我们能够比较和对比铁-亚硝基中间体的结构信息和该反应的还原和质子转移步骤的效率。
