Chlorine leaving group k(35)/k(37), nucleophile carbon k(11)/k(14), and secondary alpha-deuterium [(kH/kD)alpha] kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) have been measured for the SN2 reactions between para-substituted benzyl chlorides and tetrabutylammonium cyanide in tetrahydrofuran at 20 degrees C to determine whether these isotope effects can be used to determine the substituent effect on the structure of the transition state. The secondary alpha-deuterium KIEs indicate that the transition states for these reactions are unsymmetric. The theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory support this conclusion; i.e., they suggest that the transition states for these reactions are unsymmetric with a long NC-C(alpha) and reasonably short C(alpha)-Cl bonds. The chlorine isotope effects suggest that these KIEs can be used to determine the substituent effects on transition state structure with the KIE decreasing when a more electron-withdrawing para-substituent is present. This conclusion is supported by theoretical calculations. The nucleophile carbon k(11)/k(14) KIEs for these reactions, however, do not change significantly with substituent and, therefore, do not appear to be useful for determining how the NC-C(alpha) transition-state bond changes with substituent. The theoretical calculations indicate that the NC-C(alpha) bond also shortens as a more electron-withdrawing substituent is placed on the benzene ring of the substrate but that the changes in the NC-C(alpha) transition-state bond with substituent are very small and may not be measurable. The results also show that using leaving group and nucleophile carbon KIEs to determine the substituent effect on transition-state structure is more complicated than previously thought. The implication of using both chlorine leaving group and nucleophile carbon KIEs to determine the substituent effect on transition-state structure is discussed. 相似文献

The secondary alpha- and beta-deuterium, the alpha-carbon, the nucleophile carbon, the nucleophile nitrogen, and the chlorine leaving group kinetic isotope effects for the S(N)2 reaction between cyanide ion and ethyl chloride were determined in the very slightly polar solvent THF at 30 degrees C. A comparison of these KIEs with those reported earlier for the same reaction in the polar solvent DMSO shows that the transition state in THF is only slightly tighter with very slightly shorter NC-C(alpha) and C(alpha)-Cl bonds. This minor change in transition state structure does not account for the different transition structures that were earlier suggested by interpreting the experimental KIEs and the gas-phase calculations, respectively. It therefore seems unlikely that the different transition states suggested by the two methods are due to the lack of appropriate solvent modeling in the theoretical calculations. Previously it was predicted that the transition state of S(N)2 reactions where the nucleophile and the leaving group have the same charge would be unaffected by a change in solvent. The experimental KIEs support this view. 相似文献

The effect of inert salts on the structure of the transition state has been determined by measuring the secondary alpha deuterium and the chlorine leaving group kinetic isotope effects for the S(N)2 reaction between n-butyl chloride and thiophenoxide ion in both methanol and DMSO. The smaller secondary alpha deuterium isotope effects and very slightly larger chlorine isotope effects found in both solvents when the inert salt is present suggests that the S(N)2 transition state is tighter and more product-like, with a shorter S-C(alpha) and very a slightly longer C(alpha)-Cl bond when the added salt is present. The salt effect on the reaction in methanol where the reacting nucleophile is the solvent-separated ion-pair complex is much greater than the salt effect on the reaction in DMSO where the reacting nucleophile is the free ion. This greater change in transition-state structure found when the inert salt is present in methanol is consistent with the solvation rule for S(N)2 reactions. The greater change in the S-C(alpha) bond is predicted by the bond strength hypothesis. A rationale for the changes found in transition-state structure when the inert salt is present is suggested for both the free-ion and the ion-pair reactions. 相似文献

Nucleophile (11)C/ (14)C [ k (11)/ k (14)] and secondary alpha-deuterium [( k H/ k D) alpha] kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were measured for the S N2 reactions between tetrabutylammonium cyanide and ethyl iodide, bromide, chloride, and tosylate in anhydrous DMSO at 20 degrees C to determine whether these isotope effects can be used to determine the structure of S N2 transition states. Interpreting the experimental KIEs in the usual fashion (i.e., that a smaller nucleophile KIE indicates the Nu-C alpha transition state bond is shorter and a smaller ( k H/ k D) alpha is found when the Nu-LG distance in the transition state is shorter) suggests that the transition state is tighter with a slightly shorter NC-C alpha bond and a much shorter C alpha-LG bond when the substrate has a poorer halogen leaving group. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory support this conclusion. The results show that the experimental nucleophile (11)C/ (14)C KIEs can be used to determine transition-state structure in different reactions and that the usual method of interpreting these KIEs is correct. The magnitude of the experimental secondary alpha-deuterium KIE is related to the nucleophile-leaving group distance in the S N2 transition state ( R TS) for reactions with a halogen leaving group. Unfortunately, the calculated and experimental ( k H/ k D) alpha's change oppositely with leaving group ability. However, the calculated ( k H/ k D) alpha's duplicate both the trend in the KIE with leaving group ability and the magnitude of the ( k H/ k D) alpha's for the ethyl halide reactions when different scale factors are used for the high and the low energy vibrations. This suggests it is critical that different scaling factors for the low and high energy vibrations be used if one wishes to duplicate experimental ( k H/ k D) alpha's. Finally, neither the experimental nor the theoretical secondary alpha-deuterium KIEs for the ethyl tosylate reaction fit the trend found for the reactions with a halogen leaving group. This presumably is found because of the bulky (sterically hindered) leaving group in the tosylate reaction. From every prospective, the tosylate reaction is too different from the halogen reactions to be compared. 相似文献

The secondary alpha-deuterium, the secondary beta-deuterium, the chlorine leaving-group, the nucleophile secondary nitrogen, the nucleophile (12)C/(13)C carbon, and the (11)C/(14)C alpha-carbon kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and activation parameters have been measured for the S(N)2 reaction between tetrabutylammonium cyanide and ethyl chloride in DMSO at 30 degrees C. Then, thirty-nine readily available different theoretical methods, both including and excluding solvent, were used to calculate the structure of the transition state, the activation energy, and the kinetic isotope effects for the reaction. A comparison of the experimental and theoretical results by using semiempirical, ab initio, and density functional theory methods has shown that the density functional methods are most successful in calculating the experimental isotope effects. With two exceptions, including solvent in the calculation does not improve the fit with the experimental KIEs. Finally, none of the transition states and force constants obtained from the theoretical methods was able to predict all six of the KIEs found by experiment. Moreover, none of the calculated transition structures, which are all early and loose, agree with the late (product-like) transition-state structure suggested by interpreting the experimental KIEs. 相似文献

[reaction: see text] The transition structures and alpha-carbon 12C/13C kinetic isotope effects for 22 S(N)2 reactions between methyl chloride and a wide variety of nucleophiles have been calculated using the B1LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Anionic, neutral, and radical anion nucleophiles were used to give a wide range of S(N)2 transition states so the relationship between the magnitude of the alpha-carbon kinetic isotope effect and transition-state structure could be determined. The results suggest that the alpha-carbon 12C/13C kinetic isotope effects for S(N)2 reactions will be large (near the experimental maximum) and that the curve relating the magnitude of the KIE to the percent transfer of the alpha-carbon from the nucleophile to the leaving group in the transition state has a broad maximum. This means very similar KIEs will be found for early, symmetric, and late transition states and that one cannot use the magnitude of these KIEs to estimate transition-state structure. 相似文献

The chlorine leaving group isotope effect has been measured for the base-promoted elimination reaction of 1-(2-chloro-2-propyl)indene (1-Cl) in methanol at 30 degrees C: k(35)/k(37) = 1.0086 +/- 0.0007 with methoxide as the base and k(35)/k(37) = 1.0101 +/- 0.0001 with triethylamine (TEA) as the base. These very large chlorine isotope effects combined with large kinetic deuterium isotope effects of 7.1 and 8.4, respectively, are consistent not with the irreversible E1cB mechanism proposed previously (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1977, 99, 7926) but with the E2 mechanism with transition states having large amounts of hydron transfer and very extensive cleavage of the bond to chlorine. 相似文献

Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and computer modeling using density functional theory were used to approximate the transition state of human 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). KIEs were measured on the arsenolysis of 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) catalyzed by MTAP and were corrected for the forward commitment to catalysis. Intrinsic KIEs were obtained for [1'-(3)H], [1'-(14)C], [2'-(3)H], [4'-(3)H], [5'-(3)H(2)], [9-(15)N], and [Me-(3)H(3)] MTAs. The primary intrinsic KIEs (1'-(14)C and 9-(15)N) suggest that MTAP has a dissociative S(N)1 transition state with its cationic center at the anomeric carbon and insignificant bond order to the leaving group. The 9-(15)N intrinsic KIE of 1.039 also establishes an anionic character for the adenine leaving group, whereas the alpha-primary 1'-(14)C KIE of 1.031 indicates significant nucleophilic participation at the transition state. Computational matching of the calculated EIEs to the intrinsic isotope effects places the oxygen nucleophile 2.0 Angstrom from the anomeric carbon. The 4'-(3)H KIE is sensitive to the polarization of the 3'-OH group. Calculations suggest that a 4'-(3)H KIE of 1.047 is consistent with ionization of the 3'-OH group, indicating formation of a zwitterion at the transition state. The transition state has cationic character at the anomeric carbon and is anionic at the 3'-OH oxygen, with an anionic leaving group. The isotope effects predicted a 3'-endo conformation for the ribosyl zwitterion, corresponding to a H1'-C1'-C2'-H2' torsional angle of 33 degrees. The [Me-(3)H(3)] and [5'-(3)H(2)] KIEs arise predominantly from the negative hyperconjugation of the lone pairs of sulfur with the sigma (C-H) antibonding orbitals. Human MTAP is characterized by a late S(N)1 transition state with significant participation of the phosphate nucleophile. 相似文献

Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) occurring in mass spectrometry (MS) can provide in‐depth insights into the fragmentation behaviors of compounds of interest in MS. Yet, the fundamentals of KIEs in collision‐induced dissociation (CID) in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are unclear, and information about chlorine KIEs (Cl‐KIEs) of organochlorines in MS is particularly scarce. This study investigated the Cl‐KIEs of dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene during CID using gas chromatography‐electron ionization triple‐quadrupole MS/MS. Cl‐KIEs were evaluated with MS signal intensities. All the organochlorines presented large inverse Cl‐KIEs (<1, the departures of Cl‐KIEs from 1 denote the magnitudes of Cl‐KIEs), showing the largest magnitudes of 0.797, 0.910, and 0.892 at the highest collision energy (60 eV) for dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene, respectively. For dichloromethane, both intra‐ion and inter‐ion Cl‐KIEs were studied, within the ranges of 0.820–1.020 and 0.797–1.016, respectively, showing both normal and inverse Cl‐KIEs depending on collision energies. The observed Cl‐KIEs generally declined from large normal to extremely large inverse values with increasing collision energies from 0 to 60 eV but were inferred to be independent of MS signal intensities. The Cl‐KIEs are dominated by critical energies at low internal energies of precursor ions, resulting in normal Cl‐KIEs; while at high internal energies, the Cl‐KIEs are controlled by rotational barriers (or looseness/tightness of transition states), which lead to isotope‐competitive reactions in dechlorination and thereby inverse Cl‐KIEs. It is concluded that the Cl‐KIEs may depend on critical energies, bond strengths, available internal energies, and transition state looseness/tightness. The findings of this study yield new insights into the fundamentals of Cl‐KIEs of organochlorines during CID and may be conducive to elucidating the underlying mechanisms of KIEs in collision‐induced and photo‐induced reactions in the actual world. 相似文献

Multiple kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) on deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP) hydrolysis in 0.1 M HCl were used to determine the transition state (TS) structure and probe its intrinsic reactivity. The experimental KIEs revealed a stepwise (SN1) mechanism, with a discrete oxacarbenium ion intermediate. This is the first direct evidence for the deoxyribosyl oxacarbenium ion in solution. In 50% methanol/0.1 M HCl the products were deoxyribose 5-phosphate (dRMP) and alpha- and beta-methyl dRMP. The alpha-Me-dRMP/beta-Me-dRMP ratio was 8.5:1. Assuming that a free oxacarbenium ion is equally susceptible to nucleophilic attack on either face, this indicated that approximately 20% proceeded through a solvent-separated ion pair complex, or free oxacarbenium ion, a DN+AN mechanism, while approximately 80% of the reaction proceeded through a contact ion pair complex. The oxacarbenium ion lifetime was estimated at 10(-11)-10(-10) s. Computational transition states were found for ANDN, DN*AN, DN*AN, and DN+AN mechanisms using hybrid density functional theory calculations. After taking into account 20% of DN+AN, there was an excellent match of calculated to experimental KIEs for 80% of the reaction having a DN*AN mechanism. That is, C-N bond cleavage is reversible, with dAMP and the {oxacarbenium ion*adenine} complex in equilibrium. The first irreversible step is water attack on the oxacarbenium ion. The calculated 1'-14C KIE for a stepwise mechanism with irreversible C-N bond cleavage (DN*AN) was 1.052, in the range previously associated only with ANDN transition states, and close to the calculated ANDN value, 1.059. The 1'-14C KIE was strongly dependent on the adenine protonation state. 相似文献

Cycloreversion of 4-methoxystyrene from the corresponding Tp'Re(O)(diolato) complex (Tp' = hydrido-tris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) was measured competitively for various isotopomers at 103 degrees C. Primary ((12)C/(13)C) and secondary ((1)H/(2)H) kinetic isotope effects were determined. The primary KIEs were k(12C)/k(13C) = 1.041 +/- 0.005 at the alpha position and 1.013 +/- 0.006 at the beta position. Secondary KIEs were k(H)/k(D) = 1.076 +/- 0.005 at the alpha position and 1.017 +/- 0.005 at the beta position. Computational modeling (B3LYP/LACVP+) located a transition state for concerted cycloreversion of styrene from TpRe(O)(OCH(2)CHPh) exhibiting dramatically different C-O bond lengths. A Hammett study on cycloreversions of substituted styrenes from a series of Tp'Re(O)(diolato) showed dichotomous behavior for electron donors and electron-withdrawing groups as substituents: rho = -0.65 for electron donors, but rho = +1.13 for electron-withdrawing groups. The data are considered in light of various mechanistic proposals. While the extrusion of 4-methoxystyrene is concluded to be a highly asynchronous concerted reaction, the Hammett study reflects a likelihood that multiple reaction mechanisms are involved. 相似文献

Intermolecular (13)C kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for the Roush allylboration of p-anisaldehyde were determined using a novel approach. The experimental (13)C KIEs fit qualitatively with the expected rate-limiting cyclic transition state, but they are far higher than theoretical predictions based on conventional transition state theory. This discrepancy is attributed to a substantial contribution of heavy-atom tunneling to the reaction, and this is supported by multidimensional tunneling calculations that reproduce the observed KIEs. 相似文献

Adenosine deaminases (ADAs) from human, bovine, and Plasmodium falciparum sources were analyzed by kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and shown to have distinct but related transition states. Human adenosine deaminase (HsADA) is present in most mammalian cells and is involved in B- and T-cell development. The ADA from Plasmodium falciparum (PfADA) is essential in this purine auxotroph, and its inhibition is expected to have therapeutic effects for malaria. Therefore, ADA is of continuing interest for inhibitor design. Stable structural mimics of ADA transition states are powerful inhibitors. Here we report the transition-state structures of PfADA, HsADA, and bovine ADA (BtADA) solved using competitive kinetic isotope effects (KIE) and density functional calculations. Adenines labeled at [6-13C], [6-15N], [6-13C, 6-15N], and [1-15N] were synthesized and enzymatically coupled with [1'-14C] ribose to give isotopically labeled adenosines as ADA substrates for KIE analysis. [6-13C], [6-15N], and [1-15N]adenosines reported intrinsic KIE values of (1.010, 1.011, 1.009), (1.005, 1.005, 1.002), and (1.004, 1.001, 0.995) for PfADA, HsADA, and BtADA, respectively. The differences in intrinsic KIEs reflect structural alterations in the transition states. The [1-15N] KIEs and computational modeling results indicate that PfADA, HsADA, and BtADA adopt early SNAr transition states, where N1 protonation is partial and the bond order to the attacking hydroxyl nucleophile is nearly complete. The key structural variation among PfADA, HsADA, and BtADA transition states lies in the degree of N1 protonation with the decreased bond lengths of 1.92, 1.55, and 1.28 A, respectively. Thus, PfADA has the earliest and BtADA has the most developed transition state. This conclusion is consistent with the 20-36-fold increase of kcat in comparing PfADA with HsADA and BtADA. 相似文献

Phosphoryl transfer reactions are ubiquitous in biology and the understanding of the mechanisms whereby these reactions are catalyzed by protein and RNA enzymes is central to reveal design principles for new therapeutics. Two of the most powerful experimental probes of chemical mechanism involve the analysis of linear free energy relations (LFERs) and the measurement of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). These experimental data report directly on differences in bonding between the ground state and the rate‐controlling transition state, which is the most critical point along the reaction free energy pathway. However, interpretation of LFER and KIE data in terms of transition‐state structure and bonding optimally requires the use of theoretical models. In this work, we apply density‐functional calculations to determine KIEs for a series of phosphoryl transfer reactions of direct relevance to the 2′‐O‐transphosphorylation that leads to cleavage of the phosphodiester backbone of RNA. We first examine a well‐studied series of phosphate and phosphorothioate mono‐, di‐ and triesters that are useful as mechanistic probes and for which KIEs have been measured. Close agreement is demonstrated between the calculated and measured KIEs, establishing the reliability of our quantum model calculations. Next, we examine a series of RNA transesterification model reactions with a wide range of leaving groups in order to provide a direct connection between observed Brønsted coefficients and KIEs with the structure and bonding in the transition state. These relations can be used for prediction or to aid in the interpretation of experimental data for similar non‐enzymatic and enzymatic reactions. Finally, we apply these relations to RNA phosphoryl transfer catalyzed by ribonuclease A, and demonstrate the reaction coordinate–KIE correlation is reasonably preserved. A prediction of the secondary deuterium KIE in this reaction is also provided. These results demonstrate the utility of building up knowledge of mechanism through the systematic study of model systems to provide insight into more complex biological systems such as phosphoryl transfer enzymes and ribozymes. 相似文献

Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and computer modeling are used to approximate the transition state of S. pneumoniae 5'-methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN). Experimental KIEs were measured and corrected for a small forward commitment factor. Intrinsic KIEs were obtained for [1'-3H], [1'-14C], [2'-3H], [4'-3H], [5'-3H(2)], [9-15N] and [Me-3H(3)] MTAs. The intrinsic KIEs suggest an SN1 transition state with no covalent participation of the adenine or the water nucleophile. The transition state was modeled as a stable ribooxacarbenium ion intermediate and was constrained to fit the intrinsic KIEs. The isotope effects predicted a 3-endo conformation for the ribosyl oxacarbenium-ion corresponding to H1'-C1'-C2'-H2' dihedral angle of 70 degrees. Ab initio Hartree-Fock and DFT calculations were performed to study the effect of polarization of ribosyl hydroxyls, torsional angles, and the effect of base orientation on isotope effects. Calculations suggest that the 4'-3H KIE arises from hyperconjugation between the lonepair (n(p)) of O4' and the sigma* (C4'-H4') antibonding orbital owing to polarization of the 3'-hydroxyl by Glu174. A [methyl-3H(3)] KIE is due to hyperconjugation between np of sulfur and sigma* of methyl C-H bonds. The van der Waal contacts increase the 1'-3H KIE because of induced dipole-dipole interactions. The 1'-3H KIE is also influenced by the torsion angles of adjacent atoms and by polarization of the 2'-hydroxyl. Changing the virtual solvent (dielectric constant) does not influence the isotope effects. Unlike most N-ribosyltransferases, N7 of the leaving group adenine is not protonated at the transition state of S. pneumoniae MTAN. This feature differentiates the S. pneumoniae and E. coli transition states and explains the 10(3)-fold decrease in the catalytic efficiency of S. pneumoniae MTAN relative to that from E. coli. 相似文献

Kinetic isotope effects are determined for the enzyme‐catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate using computational methods. The calculated kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) compare reasonably with the few available experimental values with both the theory and experiment obtaining a large KIE for the ether oxygen, indicating large polarization of the transition‐state geometry. Because there is a question of the extent that the experimental rate constants are for chemistry as the rate‐limiting step, the KIEs for all the atoms of the substrate are reported with the exception of the carboxylate groups. A substantial number of large regular and inverse isotope effects are predicted for the hydrogens on the cyclohexadienyl ring related to activation of the reactant and charge reorganization in the transition state. A large KIE is predicted for the hydrogen atom bound to the ether carbon atom because the largest valency change and charge transfer occurs at the ether bond in both the reactant and tansition state. Observation of the overall pattern of predicted KIEs would ensure that conditions are favorable for the rate‐limiting chemistry. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The rate constants for the gas‐phase SN2 reaction of F?(H2O) with CH3F have been calculated using the dual‐level variational transition state theory including multidimensional tunneling from 50 to 500 K. Tunneling was found to dominate the reaction below 200 K. The deuterium, 13C, and 14C kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and solvent (D2O) isotope effects (SKIEs) were also calculated in the same temperature range. The results indicated that the deuterium and heavy water substitutions resulted in inverse KIEs (0.6~0.8 ) while the 13C and 14C substitutions resulted in normal KIEs (1.0~1.2) at room temperature. The calculated carbon KIEs increased significantly below 80 K due to the differences in the magnitude of the tunneling effects for different isotopic substitutions. 相似文献

Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were measured for methyl glucoside (4) hydrolysis on unlabeled material by NMR. Twenty-eight (13)C KIEs were measured on the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of alpha-4 and beta-4, as well as enzymatic hydrolyses with yeast alpha-glucosidase and almond beta-glucosidase. The 1-(13)C KIEs on the acid-catalyzed reactions of alpha-4 and beta-4, 1.007(2) and 1.010(6), respectively, were in excellent agreement with the previously reported values (1.007(1), 1.011(2): Bennet and Sinnott, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 7287). Transition state analysis of the acid-catalyzed reactions using the (13)C KIEs, along with the previously reported (2)H KIEs, confirmed that both reactions proceed with a stepwise D(N)A(N) mechanism and showed that the glucosyl oxocarbenium ion intermediate exists in an E(3) sofa or (4)H(3) half-chair conformation. (13)C KIEs showed that the alpha-glucosidase reaction also proceeded through a D(N)*A(N) mechanism, with a 1-(13)C KIE of 1.010(4). The secondary (13)C KIEs showed evidence of distortions in the glucosyl ring at the transition state. For the beta-glucosidase-catalyzed reaction, the 1-(13)C KIE of 1.032(1) demonstrated a concerted A(N)D(N) mechanism. The pattern of secondary (13)C KIEs was similar to the acid-catalyzed reaction, showing no signs of distortion. KIE measurement at natural abundance makes it possible to determine KIEs much more quickly than previously, both by increasing the speed of KIE measurement and by obviating the need for synthesis of isotopically labeled compounds. 相似文献

Kinetics of the ethynyl (C(2)H) radical reactions with H(2), D(2), CH(4) and CD(4) was studied over the temperature range of 295-396 K by a pulsed laser photolysis/chemiluminescence technique. The C(2)H radicals were generated by ArF excimer-laser photolysis of C(2)H(2) or CF(3)C(2)H and were monitored by the chemiluminescence of CH(A(2)Δ) produced by their reaction with O(2) or O((3)P). The measured absolute rate constants for H(2) and CH(4) agreed well with the available literature data. The primary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were determined to be k(H(2))/k(D(2)) = 2.48 ± 0.14 and k(CH(4))/k(CD(4)) = 2.45 ± 0.16 at room temperature. Both of the KIEs increased as the temperature was lowered. The KIEs were analyzed by using the variational transition state theory with semiclassical small-curvature tunneling corrections. With anharmonic corrections on the loose transitional vibrational modes of the transition states, the theoretical predictions satisfactorily reproduced the experimental KIEs for both C(2)H + H(2)(D(2)) and C(2)H + CH(4)(CD(4)) reactions. 相似文献

Bacterial tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase (TadA) catalyzes the essential deamination of adenosine to inosine at the wobble position of tRNAs and is necessary to permit a single tRNA species to recognize multiple codons. The transition state structure of Escherichia coli TadA was characterized by kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and quantum chemical calculations. A stem loop of E. coli tRNA(Arg2) was used as a minimized TadA substrate, and its adenylate editing site was isotopically labeled as [1'-(3)H], [5'-(3)H2], [1'-(14)C], [6-(13)C], [6-(15)N], [6-(13)C, 6-(15)N] and [1-(15)N]. The intrinsic KIEs of 1.014, 1.022, 0.994, 1.014 and 0.963 were obtained for [6-(13)C]-, [6-(15)N]-, [1-(15)N]-, [1'-(3)H]-, [5'-(3)H2]-labeled substrates, respectively. The suite of KIEs are consistent with a late SNAr transition state with a complete, pro-S-face hydroxyl attack and nearly complete N1 protonation. A significant N6-C6 dissociation at the transition state of TadA is indicated by the large [6-(15)N] KIE of 1.022 and corresponds to an N6-C6 distance of 2.0 A in the transition state structure. Another remarkable feature of the E. coli TadA transition state structure is the Glu70-mediated, partial proton transfer from the hydroxyl nucleophile to the N6 leaving group. KIEs correspond to H-O and H-N distances of 2.02 and 1.60 A, respectively. The large inverse [5'-(3)H] KIE of -3.7% and modest normal [1'-(3)H] KIE of 1.4% indicate that significant ribosyl 5'-reconfiguration and purine rotation occur on the path to the transition state. The late SNAr transition-state established here for E. coli TadA is similar to the late transition state reported for cytidine deaminase. It differs from the early SNAr transition states described recently for the adenosine deaminases from human, bovine, and Plasmodium falciparum sources. The ecTadA transition state structure reveals the detailed architecture for enzymatic catalysis. This approach should be readily transferable for transition state characterization of other RNA editing enzymes. 相似文献
