Project Summary The successful development of artificial metalloenzymes tests our understanding of enzymatic catalysis, protein folding, and bioinorganic chemistry. A distinct and unmet challenge in this arena is the development of redox-active, artificial metalloenzymes that exhibit catalytic activity with small molecules. Nature employs a diverse array of copper-containing enzymes that make use of the tunable redox properties of this ubiquitous metal ion. This proposal outlines the design of flexible metal binding sites that accommodate two redox-active and coordinatively-unsaturated copper ions at the interface of complementary protein monomers or within a reengineered maltose binding receptor protein. These designs will be guided by computational methods, X-ray crystallography and bimetallic templating strategies. As a test for the catalytic properties of the designed site, we will investigate the CuI2- catalyzed reductive coupling of CO2 to oxalate.

项目摘要 人工金属酶的研制成功考验了我们对酶的认识 催化、蛋白质折叠和生物无机化学。在这个竞技场中，一个独特的和未解决的挑战是 具有氧化还原活性的人工金属酶的开发， 分子。自然界使用了各种各样的含铜酶，这些酶利用可调的 这种无处不在的金属离子的氧化还原性质。本建议概述了柔性金属装订的设计 在界面处容纳两个氧化还原活性和配位不饱和铜离子的位点 互补蛋白单体内或在重新工程化的麦芽糖结合受体蛋白内。这些 设计将受到计算方法、X射线晶体学和双金属模板的指导 战略布局作为对所设计位点的催化性能的测试，我们将研究CuI 2- 催化CO2还原偶联成草酸盐。
