  40. Tunneling & Dynamics in theoretical modelsMarcus-like model of ground-state tunneling

  41. Relevant Protein Motion

  42. Results and Conclusions • DHFR: • 1. The lack of temperature dependence of intrinsic primary KIEs constitutes proof for hydrogen tunneling, and taken together with the Ea suggests vibrationally enhanced H-tunneling. • 2. The secondary intrinsic KIEs were 1.19 ±0.015 and 1.052 ±0.019 for H/T and D/T, respectively, which doesn’t suggest 1˚-2˚ coupled motion (the Swain-Schaad EXP = 3.4 ±1). • 3. The intrinsic KIEs at 25 ˚C are in agreement with the values predicted by Truhlar, Gao, Hammes-Schiffer and their co-workers from QM/MM calculations. • 4. The dynamically altered mutant G121V catalyze similar H-transfer mechanism but its pre-organization is not perfect and some “gating” is required. • * Sikorski, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 126, 4778-4779 (2004). • TS: • 1. The lack of temperature dependence of intrinsic primary KIEs constitutes proof for hydrogen tunneling, and taken together with the Ea suggests vibrationally enhanced H-tunneling. • 2. Substrate inhibition was predicted but is observed here for the first time. This demonstrates that relevant activation parameters can only be calculated on a single rate constant (e.g., kcat) if it is extracted from the whole kinetic cascade at all temperatures. • * Agrawal, et al., . Biochemistry, 43, 1998-2006 (2004).

  43. Summary and Future Directions • Methods were developed to examine the nature of the hydride transfer step in complex enzymatic reaction cascades, which allow measurements of 1º and 2º, H/T and D/T KIEs on V/K, their commitments to catalysis and of intrinsic KIEs. • These methods expose the nature of the chemical step better than previous experiments. • Both TS and DHFR catalyzed reactions seem to involve “environmentally coupled tunneling” but no coupled motion between 1˚ and 2˚ hydrogens. • Current and future studies: • Various DHFR mutants with altered dynamics are studied to examine possible effects of those dynamics on the nature of the hydride transfer (e.g., G121V, M42W, and G121V-M42W). • Alternative DHFRs and TSs, such as R67-DHFR, TSCP or thermophiles and halophiles, will be studied and the nature of their chemical transformations will be compared. The relationship between sequence, structure, dynamics and function (H-transfer catalysis) will be examined.
