Developing electrode-driven biocatalytic systems utilizing the P450 cytochromes for selective oxidations depends not only on achieving electron transfer (ET) but also doing so at rates that favor native-like turnover. Herein we report studies that correlate rates of heme reduction with ET pathways and resulting product distributions. We utilized single-surface cysteine mutants of the heme domain of P450 from Bacillus megaterium and modified the thiols with N-(1-pyrene)-iodoacetamide, affording proteins that could bond to basal-plane graphite. Of the proteins examined, Cys mutants at position 62, 383, and 387 were able to form electroactive monolayers with similar E(1/2) values (-335 to -340mV vs AgCl/Ag). Respective ET rates (k(s)(o)) and heme-cysteine distances for 62, 383, and 387 are 50 s(-1) and 16Ǻ, 0.8 s(-1) and 25Ǻ, and 650 s(-1) and 19Ǻ. Experiments utilizing rotated-disk electrodes were conducted to determine the products of P450-catalyzed dioxygen reduction. We found good agreement between ET rates and product distributions for the various mutants, with larger k(s)(o) values correlating with more electrons transferred per dioxygen during catalysis.

To date, the examples of difunctionalization of alkanes to directly incorporate two functional groups are very limited. In this study, we combined photoorgano redox catalysis and P450 biocatalysts to obtain dioxygen-functionalization of α/β-C-H bonds of arylalkanes in a straightforward manner. The synthesis of enantiomerically chiral acyloins through a one-pot two-step photoredox/P450-catalyzed cascade reaction is described.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) heme-thiolate monooxygenases catalyze the hydroxylation of the C-H bonds of organic molecules. This reaction is initiated by a ferryl-oxo heme radical cation (Cpd I). These enzymes can also catalyze sulfoxidation reactions and the ferric-hydroperoxy complex (Cpd 0) and the Fe(III)-H O complex have been proposed as alternative oxidants for this transformation.

The serendipitous prodrug clopidogrel (CPG, M0) is the mainstay antiplatelet drug in clinical use. The thiophene moiety of CPG undergoes ring opening to form the active metabolite (M13) through two steps of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-catalyzed oxidation. The stable intermediate resulting from the first oxidation, 2-oxo-CPG (M2), is proposed to be oxidized to form an S-oxide intermediate (M11), which proceeds with a hydrolytic pathway to yield a sulfenic acid (M12) and subsequently the bioreduced active metabolite (M13).

Many economically important biosyntheses incorporate regiospecific and stereospecific oxidations at unactivated carbons. Such oxidations are commonly catalyzed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, heme-containing enzymes that activate molecular oxygen while selectively binding and orienting the substrate for reaction. Despite the plethora of P450-catalyzed reactions, the P450 fold is highly conserved, and static structures are often insufficient for characterizing conformational states that contribute to specificity.

Enzymes are complex biological catalysts and are critical to life. Most oxidations of chemicals are catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes, which generally utilize mixed-function oxidase stoichiometry, utilizing pyridine nucleotides as electron donors: NAD(P)H + O + R → NAD(P) + RO + HO (where R is a carbon substrate and RO is an oxidized product). The catalysis of oxidations is largely understood in the context of the heme iron-oxygen complex generally referred to as Compound I, formally FeO, whose basis was in peroxidase chemistry.
