Abstract
- Using a combination of experimental studies, theory, simulation, and modeling, we investigate the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reaction by the high-valent ferryl cytochrome P450 (CYP) intermediate known as Compound I, a species that is central to innumerable and important detoxification and biosynthetic reactions. The P450 decarboxylase known as OleT converts fatty acids, a sustainable biological feedstock, into terminal alkenes and thus is of high interest as a potential means to produce fungible biofuels. Previous experimental work has established the intermediacy of Compound I in the C─C scission reaction catalyzed by OleT and an unprecedented ability to monitor the HAT process in the presence of bound fatty acid substrates. Here, we leverage the kinetic simplicity of the OleT system to measure the activation barriers for CYP HAT and the temperature dependence of the substrate
