This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binuclear non-heme iron enzymes are pervasive in nature and catalyze a variety of biologically important reactions, including reactions relevant to the biosynthesis of DNA, fatty acid metabolism, the protection of pathogens from oxidative stress, cell signaling, iron storage, and many others. Elucidating the structures of their diiron active sites and the contributions of these structures to reactivity can provide molecular level insight into catalysis. The near IR circular dichroism (CD), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and variable temperature variable field (VTVH) MCD spectroscopies form a powerful methodology that allows for detailed structural understanding of the diiron active sites in these enzymes. Presented are studies that focus on myo-inositol oxygenase, an enzyme with significance to human health, and de novo designed diiron proteins that model native enzymes.

Book excerpt: Diabetes: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants, Second Edition, builds on the success of the first edition, covering updated research on the science of oxidative stress in diabetes and the potentially therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet and food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are not described in isolation, but rather in concert with other processes, such as apoptosis, cell signaling and receptor mediated responses. This approach recognizes that diseases are often multifactorial and oxidative stress is a single component of this. Since the publication of the first edition, the science of oxidative stress and free radical biology continues to rapidly advance with thousands of the research articles on the topic. New sections in this update cover the role of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in causing OS in diabetes, oxidative stress and diabetes-induced bone metabolism, and oxidative stress and diabetic foot ulcer. Saves clinicians and researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest details on a broad range of diabetes and oxidation issues Combines the science of oxidative stress and the putative therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet, its food matrix or plant Includes preclinical, clinical and population studies to help endocrinologists, diabetologists, nutritionists, dieticians and clinicians map out key areas for research and further clinical recommendations

This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of the first examples of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase-catalysed reactions in the 1960s, a remarkably broad diversity of alternate reactions and substrates has been revealed, and extensive advances have been achieved in our understanding of the structures and catalytic mechanisms. These enzymes are important agrochemical targets and are being pursued as therapeutic targets for a wide range of diseases including cancer and anemia. This book provides a central source of information that summarizes the key features of the essential group of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases and related enzymes. Given the numerous recent advances and biomedical interest in the field, this book aims to unite the latest research for those already working in the field as well as to provide an introduction for those newly approaching the topic, and for those interested in translating the basic science into medicinal and agricultural benefits. The book begins with four broad chapters that highlight critical aspects, including an overview of possible catalytic reactions, structures and mechanisms. The following seventeen chapters focus on carefully selected topics, each written by leading experts in the area. Readers will find explanations of rapidly evolving research, from the chemistry of isopenicillin N synthase to the oxidation mechanism of 5-methylcytosine in DNA by ten-eleven-translocase oxygenases.

Download or read book Spectroscopic and Computational Studies of Mononuclear Nonheme Iron Enzymes written by Kenneth M. Light and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes (NH Fe enzymes) catalyze a variety of biological reactions. A large group of NH Fe enzymes use a ferrous active site to activate dioxygen towards reaction with substrate, and require an additional cofactor as a source of electrons necessary for catalysis. The main part of this thesis involves the application of a circular dichroism (CD), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and variable temperature, variable-field MCD (VTVH MCD) spectroscopic methodology to a series of alpha-ketoglurate-dependent (alpha-KG-dependent) enzymes for the purpose of understanding how this enzyme family and the NH Ferrous enzymes in general induce the dissociation the generation of a 5C site for dioxgyen reactivity, as well as how dioxygen binding is oriented for proper catalysis. In addition to catalyzing oxidation of organic substrates, NH Fe enzymes are also involved in the catalytic hydrolysis and hydration of substrates. A prominent example of this is nitrile hydratases (NHases), unusual low-spin (LS) Ferric or Cobaltic enzymes that catalyze the conversion of nitriles to amides in soil bacteria. Another part of this thesis involves the spectroscopic characterization of a ferric NHase for the determination of its active site geometric and electronic structure, which are used to calibrate a computational model which is extended to explore the NHase catalytic mechanism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mononuclear non-heme iron (NHFe) enzymes catalyze a wide variety of biologically-important reactions such as hydroxylation, halogenation, desaturation, ring closure, and electrophilic aromatic substitution. The key intermediate in the catalytic cycle is the S = 2 Fe(IV)=O species, capable of abstracting an H-atom from inert C--H bonds as strong as 106 kcal/mol. The Fe(IV)=O intermediate in enzymes is transient and difficult to trap; as such, stable synthetic analogs have proven invaluable for spectroscopic elucidation of the geometric/electronic structure of the Fe(IV)=O unit and how it is activated for reactivity. Such biomimetic Fe(IV)=O model complexes can be either intermediate-spin (S = 1) or high-spin (S = 2) in contrast to the S = 2 ground state of enzyme intermediates. For an S = 1 Fe(IV)=O species, the Fe--oxo [beta] [pi]*-frontier molecular orbital (FMO) [from the combination of Fe d(xz/yz) and oxo p(x/y)] is involved in H-atom abstraction, and this FMO requires a side-on approach ([pi]-attack) to achieve maximum overlap with the substrate C--H bond. Through magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and nuclear vibrational resonance spectroscopy (NRVS) studies, the reactivity of the S = 1 Fe(IV)=O unit has been shown to be affected by the oxo contribution in the [pi]*-FMO, where a larger oxo contribution results in greater orbital overlap (with the substrate C--H) and higher reactivity; also, the [pi]-attack pathway results in steric clashes between substrate and ligand, giving a significant steric contribution to the energy of the reaction barrier. For an S = 2 Fe(IV)=O species, the Fe--oxo [alpha] [sigma]*-FMO [Fe d(z2) and oxo p(z)] is spin-polarized (exchange-stabilized) to an energy level comparable with its [pi]*-FMO, making it accessible as a second pathway ([sigma]-attack) for reactivity. In the S = 2 Fe(IV)=O model complex ligated by TMG3tren, this [sigma]*-FMO is active but is axially hindered by the ligand, again giving a large steric contribution to the reaction barrier; however, the intrinsic electronic reaction barriers of the S = 2 [sigma]*-FMO and the S = 1 [pi]*-FMO are comparable, suggesting they are similarly active in H-atom abstraction. Furthermore, MCD excited-state spectroscopy in combination with multiconfigurational calculations on the S = 2 model reveal two different [pi]-pathways for reactivity involving Fe(III)--oxyl[p(x), [pi]] character, in addition to the [sigma]-pathway involving Fe(III)--oxyl[p(z), [sigma]] character, showing that the S = 2 Fe(IV)=O unit is activated for both [pi] and [sigma] H-atom abstraction reactivities. Finally, the S = 2 enzyme intermediate for the halogenase SyrB2 was trapped and structurally characterized by NRVS, revealing two possible 5-coordinate trigonal bipyramidal candidates with the Fe--oxo vector oriented either perpendicular or parallel to the substrate C--H bond. Importantly, this difference in orientation leads to Fe(III)--OH products oriented efficiently for different rebound reactivities -- native halogenation in the case of perpendicular orientation and non-native hydroxylation in the case of parallel orientation.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes are an important class with a wide range of medical, pharmaceutical and environmental applications. Within this class, the oxygen activating enzymes use Fe(II) to activate O2 for reaction with the substrate. The focus of this thesis is on understanding two major themes of the oxygen activating enzymes - the role of the (2His/1 carboxylate) facial triad and the initial O2 reaction steps of alpha-keto acid-dependent dioxygenases - using a combination of spectroscopic techniques and DFT calculations. For ferrous systems, abs/CD/MCD/VTVH MCD studies define the geometric and electronic structure of the ferrous site. In combination with DFT calculations, a structure/function picture of the ferrous sites is developed. To extend these studies to the initial steps of O2 binding, studies with NO as an O2 analogue ({FeNO}7/{FeO2}8) utilize EPR/abs/CD/MCD/VTVH MCD spectroscopy with DFT calculations to elucidate important effects of the substrate on the {FeNO}7 bond. These effects are used in the computational extension to the experimentally inaccessible O2 bound complexes giving insight into the initial steps of O2 binding and activation. Taken together, these studies shed light on the rational for facial triad ligation at the Fe(II) site in the oxygen activating enzymes and how the Fe(II) ligand set tunes the specific reactivity of these enzymes.
