QM/MM calculations are used to elucidate the Poulos-Kraut (Poulos, T. L.; Kraut, J. J. Biol. Chem. 1980, 255, 8199-8205) mechanism of O-O bond activation and Compound I (Cpd I) formation in HRP, in conditions corresponding to neutral to basic pH. Attempts to generate Compound I directly from the Fe(H2O2) complex by migrating the proton from the proximal oxygen to the distal one (1,2- proton shift) result in high barriers. The lowest energy mechanism was found to involve initial deprotonation of ferric hydrogen peroxide complex (involving spin crossover from the quartet to the doublet state) by His42 to form ferric-hydroperoxide (Cpd 0). Subsequently, the distal OH group of Cpd 0 is pulled by Arg38 and reprotonated by His42(H+) to form Cpd I and a water molecule that bridges the two residues. The structures of the intermediate and the transition state reveal the manner by which the Arg-His residues promote cooperatively the electronic reorganization that is required to attend the heterolytic O-O cleavage.

Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) is a multifunctional hemeprotein with a functional switch generally regulated by the chemical class of the substrate. Its two isoforms, DHP-A and DHP-B, differ by only five amino acids and have an almost identical protein fold. However, the catalytic efficiency of DHP-B for oxidation by a peroxidase mechanism ranges from 2- to 6-fold greater than that of DHP-A depending on the conditions.

The Poulos-Kraut heterolytic O-O cleavage mechanism is essential for natural peroxidases to activate HO. Current existing peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes, including photonanozymes (PNZs), however, are generally believed to prefer the Fenton-type mechanism of O-O homolysis, which produces OH radicals. Here, Ag ions are introduced into TiO PNZs to boost the hot hole-driven O-O heterolysis for the expedited HO activation in the peroxidase-like photonanozymatic reaction while inhibiting the Fenton-type O-O homolysis.

This Account describes the manner whereby nature controls the Fenton-type reaction of O-O homolysis of hydrogen peroxide and harnesses it to carry out various useful oxidative transformations in metalloenzymes. HO acts as the cosubstrate for the heme-dependent peroxidases, P450BM3, P450, P450, and the P450 decarboxylase OleT, as well as the nonheme enzymes HppE and the copper-dependent lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). Whereas heme peroxidases use the Poulos-Kraut heterolytic mechanism for HO activation, some heme enzymes prefer the alternative Fenton-type mechanism, which produces •OH radical intermediates.

Molecular dynamics simulations on hydrogen peroxide complex with wild-type (WT) and Arg38Leu mutated (R38L) Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) were carried out over nanoseconds timescale in water solution at 300 K. Comparison of the results provides interesting insights about the role of highly conserved Arg38 and His42 residues in the chemical features of HRP, underlying its biological activity which initiates with Compound0 (Cpd0). In the WT-HRP enzyme current molecular dynamics simulations show, for the first time, that Arg38 residue: i) prevents the entrance of water inside the reaction cavity, hence providing a hydrophobic reactive scenario, ii) it maintains the distance between His42 and heme-H(2)O(2) complex suitable for the occurrence of proton transfer reaction leading, thereafter, to heme-H(2)O(2) disruption according to Poulos-Kraut mechanism.

Bleomycins (BLMs) can utilize H2O2 to cleave DNA in the presence of ferric ions. DFT calculations were used to study the mechanism of O-O bond cleavage in the low-spin FeIII-hydroperoxo complex of BLM. The following alternative hypotheses were investigated using realistic structural models: (a) heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond, generating a Compound I (Cpd I) like intermediate, formally BLM-FeV=O; (b) homolytic O-O cleavage, leading to a BLM-FeIV=O species and an OH* radical; and (c) a direct O-O cleavage/H-abstraction mechanism by ABLM.
