DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project focuses on the structures of transient oxygen intermediates occurring in the catalytic cycles of iron enzymes. Specific focus is on the resolution of atomic vibrations of oxygenic metal ligands and their protonation states using continuous flow resonance Raman spectroscopy. Using a unique, state of the art experimental setup, designed and implemented by the PI, we will examine isotope-difference Raman spectra of species that are formed for a short time following the start of the reactions. The major advantage of our approach is the ability to carry out reactions in liquid samples at temperatures as low as -70¿C with minuscule dead volume. This allows us to slow down the rates of chemical reactions by orders of magnitude and permits close examination of the early phases of the reaction without the need for prohibitive amounts of biological samples. We will examine two classes of iron enzymes. First, we will study transient intermediates that we recently identified in the mono-nuclear non-heme iron and ?-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase, TauD. We will characterize these intermediates at various temperatures using excitations across the UV/visible spectrum in order to isolate their spectral signatures. These species will be further investigated using isotope-labeled substrates and medium. A range of synthetic modeling, computational and comparative studies will be carried out that will allow unambiguous identification of the structures of the new species. The second group includes two key bacterial di-iron enzymes. Methane monooxygenase is a powerful analog of cytochrome P450 in higher organisms, which is capable of oxidizing methane to methanol. Its highly oxidized intermediate Q contains an unprecedented FeIVFeIV core. Ribonucleotide reductase plays a key role in DNA replication and is a good model for the corresponding mammalian enzyme. Its highly oxidized intermediate X is responsible for activation of the enzyme by generating a protein radical. Structures of both X and Q have been studied extensively over the last two decades, but remain controversial. Using our novel approach we seek to identify the number, type, and protonation states of oxygenic ligands in X and Q, which is critical for resolving their specific catalytic mechanisms. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Short-lived highly oxidized oxygen-metal complexes are the catalytic centerpieces of many enzymes exhibiting a diverse range of critical physiological functions. Using a unique experimental setup, which us allows to dramatically slow down chemical reactions, we seek to establish the detailed structures of such intermediates. We will investigate three representative enzymes: ribonucleotide reductase is involved in DNA replication and two bacterial oxygenases provide important models of analogous enzymes in mammals.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的重点是铁酶催化循环中发生的瞬时氧中间体的结构。具体重点是使用连续流共振拉曼光谱的含氧金属配体和它们的质子化状态的原子振动的分辨率。使用一个独特的，最先进的实验装置，由PI设计和实施，我们将检查同位素差异拉曼光谱的物种，形成了一个短的时间后，开始反应。我们的方法的主要优点是能够在低至-70 ° C的温度下在液体样品中进行反应，死体积极小。这使我们能够将化学反应的速率减慢几个数量级，并允许对反应的早期阶段进行仔细检查，而不需要大量的生物样品。我们将研究两类铁酶。首先，我们将研究我们最近在单核非血红素铁和？酮戊二酸依赖性双加氧酶，TauD。我们将在不同的温度下使用整个UV/可见光谱的激发来表征这些中间体，以分离它们的光谱特征。这些物种将进一步研究使用同位素标记的底物和介质。将进行一系列合成建模、计算和比较研究，以便明确识别新物种的结构。第二组包括两种关键的细菌二铁酶。甲烷单加氧酶是高等生物中细胞色素P450的一种类似物，能够将甲烷氧化为甲醇。其高度氧化的中间体Q含有前所未有的FeIVFeIV核。核糖核苷酸还原酶在DNA复制中起着关键作用，是研究哺乳动物相应酶的良好模型。其高度氧化的中间体X负责通过产生蛋白质自由基来激活酶。在过去的二十年里，X和Q的结构都得到了广泛的研究，但仍然存在争议。使用我们的新方法，我们试图确定X和Q中含氧配体的数量，类型和质子化状态，这对于解决其特定的催化机制至关重要。 公共卫生关系：短寿命的高度氧化的氧-金属络合物是许多酶的催化中心，表现出各种重要的生理功能。使用一个独特的实验装置，我们允许显着减缓化学反应，我们试图建立这样的中间体的详细结构。我们将研究三种代表性的酶：核糖核苷酸还原酶参与DNA复制，两种细菌加氧酶提供了哺乳动物中类似酶的重要模型。
