摘要
在血红素化学中,电子迁移(ET)现象是非常重要的,但通常它却很难被实验技术手段表征。我们运用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,优化得到了亚氯酸盐歧化酶(Cld)催化分解过氧乙酸(PAA)时的电子迁移的过渡态。计算表明,亚氯酸盐歧化酶催化过氧乙酸的反应采用了一个分步反应的机理,即:通过O-O键的均裂形成短寿命的高价态血红素氧化化合物Ⅱ(CpdⅡ)和乙酸根自由基(OAc·),之后发生从Cpd Ⅱ的卟啉环到OAc·的快速电子迁移过程,最终形成了高价态血红素氧化化合物Ⅰ(CpdⅠ)和乙酸根阴离子。第二步反应,即从Cpd Ⅱ的卟啉环到OAc·的电子过程是这个催化反应的决速步骤。计算结果指出电子迁移过程在血红素化学中的重要性,也表明了血红素酶类的反应机理真相可能被快速的电子迁移过程掩盖,即使某个重要的中间体已经被实验检测到(比如该催化反应中的Cpd Ⅰ已经被实验检测到)。与亚氯酸盐歧化酶催化亚氯酸盐(天然底物)的反应进行比较,进一步表明了血红素酶类对反应底物的敏感性,也就是说,血红素酶类催化不同的反应底物可能采用不同的反应机理。
Electron transfer(ET) is significant in heme chemistry but usually difficult to be characterized. In the present DFT calculations, a transition state for ET has been optimized during the decomposition of peracetic acid(PAA) catalyzed by chlorite dismutase(Cld). The Cld-catalyzed PPA reaction is revealed to proceed via a homolytic O-O bond cleavage to transiently form compound Ⅱ(Cpd Ⅱ) and acetate radical(OAc·), and a subsequent fast ET from Cpd Ⅱ porphyrin to OAc· leading to compound Ⅰ(Cpd Ⅰ) and acetate anion. The second step of ET from Cpd Ⅱ porphyrin to OAc· is rate-limiting. The results highlight the importance of ET in heme chemistry and imply that the reaction mechanisms of heme enzymes may be masked by fast ET even if a key intermediate has been detected(like Cpd Ⅰ in this case). The comparison with the Cld-catalyzed chlorite reaction further indicates the sensitivity of heme to substrates, that is, a heme enzyme may employ different mechanisms for different substrates.
