Abstract
A tetrahedrally coordinated L3Fe-Nx platform that accommodates both terminal nitride (L3FeIVN) and dinitrogen (L3FeI-N2-FeIL3) functionalities is described. The diamagnetic L3FeIVN species featured has been characterized in solution under ambient conditions by multinuclear NMR (1H, 31P, and 15N) and infrared spectroscopy. The electronic structure of the title complex has also been explored using DFT. The terminal nitride complex oxidatively couples to generate the previously reported L3FeI-N2-FeIL3 species. This reaction constitutes a six-electron transformation mediated by two iron centers. Reductive protonation of the nitride complex releases NH3 as a significant reaction product.

Abstract
The oxygen activation mechanisms proposed for nonheme iron systems generally follow the heme paradigm in invoking the involvement of iron-peroxo and iron-oxo species in their catalytic cycles. However, the nonheme ligand environments allow for end-on and side-on dioxygen coordination and impart greater flexibility in the modes of dioxygen activation. The currently available evidence for nonheme iron-peroxo and iron-oxo intermediates is summarized and discussed in light of the ongoing discussion on the nature of the oxidant(s) in heme enzymes.

Abstract
Manganyl Mn=O species have been suggested as possible intermediates in photosynthetic water oxidation and as the reactive species in asymmetric olefin epoxidation. The first X-ray absorption spectrum for a MnV=O complex is reported. Comparison of the EXAFS data for Na[MnV=O(HMPAB) with those for lower-valent Mn complexes suggests that EXAFS measurements and edge-energy measurements are unlikely to have sufficient sensitivity to reliably reflect the presence of Mn=O species. In contrast, the preedge transition for Na[MnV=O(HMPAB) is 4-fold more intense than the most intense preedge transition observed for nonmanganyl complexes. This increase in intensity is shown to be sufficiently sensitive to allow detection of a manganyl species if it is formed. These data together with published data for the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex provide strong evidence against the presence of manganyl Mn=O species in the oxygen-evolving complex through the S3 state.

Abstract
Non-heme iron and manganese species with terminal oxo ligands are proposed to be key intermediates in a variety of biological and synthetic systems; however, the stabilization of these types of complexes has proven difficult because of the tendency to form oxo-bridged complexes. Described herein are the design, isolation, and properties for a series of mononuclear Fe(III) and Mn(III) complexes with terminal oxo or hydroxo ligands. Isolation of the complexes was facilitated by the tripodal ligand tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethyl]aminato ([H(3)1](3-)), which creates a protective hydrogen bond cavity around the M(III)-O(H) units (M(III) = Fe and Mn). The M(III)-O(H) complexes are prepared by the activation of dioxygen and deprotonation of water. In addition, the M(III)-O(H) complexes can be synthesized using oxygen atom transfer reagents such as N-oxides and hydroxylamines. The [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) complex also can be made using sulfoxides. These findings support the proposal of a high valent M(IV)-oxo species as an intermediate during dioxygen cleavage. Isotopic labeling studies show that oxo ligands in the [M(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) complexes come directly from the cleavage of dioxygen: for [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) the nu(Fe-(16)O) = 671 cm(-1), which shifts 26 cm(-1) in [Fe(III)H(3)1((18)O)](2-) (nu(Fe-(18)O) = 645 cm(-1)); a nu(Mn-(16)O) = 700 cm(-1) was observed for [Mn(III)H(3)1((16)O)](2-), which shifts to 672 cm(-1) in the Mn-(18)O isotopomer. X-ray diffraction studies show that the Fe-O distance is 1.813(3) A in [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-), while a longer bond is found in [Fe(III)H(3)1(OH)](-) (Fe-O at 1.926(2) A); a similar trend was found for the Mn(III)-O(H) complexes, where a Mn-O distance of 1.771(5) A is observed for [Mn(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) and 1.873(2) A for [Mn(III)H(3)1(OH)](-). Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the urea NH groups of [H(3)1](3-) and the oxo and oxygen of the hydroxo ligand are observed in all the complexes. These findings, along with density functional theory calculations, indicate that a single sigma-bond exists between the M(III) centers and the oxo ligands, and additional interactions to the oxo ligands arise from intramolecular H-bonds, which illustrates that noncovalent interactions may replace pi-bonds in stabilizing oxometal complexes.

Abstract
Escherichia coli AlkB is a DNA/RNA repair enzyme containing a mononuclear Fe(II) site that couples the oxidative decomposition of alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) to the hydroxylation of 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine lesions in DNA or RNA, resulting in release of formaldehyde and restoration of the normal bases. In the presence of Fe(II), alphaKG, and oxygen, but the absence of methylated DNA, AlkB was found to catalyze an aberrant reaction that generates a blue chromophore. The color is proposed to derive from Fe(III) coordinated by a hydroxytryptophan at position 178 as revealed by mass spectrometric analysis. Protein structural modeling confirms that Trp 178 is reasonably positioned to react with the Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate proposed to form at the active site.

Abstract
Synthetic modeling studies of non-heme iron proteins continue to contribute to our understanding of the mechanism of these proteins. Recently, mononuclear Fe(IV)=O complexes have been prepared and characterized to model the same species that are proposed to be the reactive intermediates in reactions involving mononuclear non-heme iron proteins. Generation of such species for the oxidation of organic substrates has also been demonstrated. Other advances include successful modeling of the structural and functional aspects of diiron non-heme proteins with the use of terphenyl-based carboxylate ligands and the development of several iron-based reagents that catalyze oxidation reactions with the use of various oxidants, including dioxygen.

Abstract
Iron complexes including polyimidazole and exchangeable ligands are studied with the aim of modeling the structural and functional features of the non-heme iron centers of dinuclear proteins, such as methane monooxygenase. In [Fe(2)OL(2)(MeOH)(2)(NO(3))(2)](NO(3))(2) (1) (L = 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine), each Fe(III) is in a distorted octahedral environment and has a donor set of N(3)O(3) which includes three N atoms from L and three O atoms from a nitrate, micro-oxo, and methanol. In complex [FeLCl(3)] (2) (L = 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine), Fe(III) is coordinated to three nitrogen atoms from L and three chloride ions. Complex 1 efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of cyclohexane with 51% conversion to cyclohexanol. It also catalyzed the epoxidation of styrene, cyclohexane, 2-methyl-2-butene, and cis- and trans-2-heptene with 51-84% conversions and high selectivity (71-99%) for epoxide products. Complex 2, however, has no specific reactivity toward these substrates. From the alcohol/ketone (A/K) ratio close to 1 in the oxidation of cyclohexane, the low KIE (kinetic isotope effect K(H)/K(D) ratio = 1.8) for cyclohexanol formation, and the nonstereospecificity of the oxidation of cis-dimethylcyclohexane, it can be concluded that long-lived alkyl radicals are involved in the oxidation catalyzed by complex 1. On the other hand, the stereospecific epoxidation of alkenes, the stereoselective oxidation of cumene, and the high degree of retention of configuration in the oxidation of cis- and trans-2-heptene suggest that a nonradical species, probably a metal-based intermediate, is involved in the oxidation of alkenes and cumene.

Abstract
Three iron complexes of a pentadentate ligand N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N-ethyl-2-pyridine-2-carboxamide (PaPy(3)H, H is the dissociable amide proton) have been synthesized. All three species, namely, two nitrosyls [(PaPy(3))Fe(NO)](ClO(4))(2) (2) and [(PaPy(3))Fe(NO)](ClO(4)) (3) and one nitro complex [(PaPy(3))Fe(NO(2))](ClO(4)) (4), have been structurally characterized. These complexes provide the opportunity to compare the structural and spectral properties of a set of isostructural [Fe-NO](6,7) complexes (2 and 3, respectively) and an analogous genuine Fe(III) complex with an "innocent" sixth ligand ([(PaPy(3))Fe(NO(2))](ClO(4)), 4). The most striking difference in the structural features of 2 and 3 is the Fe-N-O angle (Fe-N-O = 173.1(2) degrees in the case of 2 and 141.29(15) degrees in the case of 3). The clean (1)H NMR spectrum of 2 in CD(3)CN reveals its S = 0 ground state and confirms its [Fe-NO](6) configuration. The binding of NO at the non-heme iron center in 2 is completely reversible and the bound NO is photolabile. Mössbauer data, electron paramagnetic resonance signal at g approximately 2.00, and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the S = (1)/(2) spin state of the [Fe-NO](7) complex 3. Analysis of the spectroscopic data suggests Fe(II)-NO(+) and Fe(II)-NO(*) formulations for 2 and 3, respectively. The bound NO in 3 does not show any photolability. However, in MeCN solution, it reacts rapidly with dioxygen to afford the nitro complex 4, which has also been synthesized independently from [(PaPy(3))Fe(MeCN)](2+) and NO(2)(-). Nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion to the N atom of the NO ligand in 2 in MeCN in the dark gives rise to 4 in high yield.

Abstract
The stereospecific cytochrome P450-catalyzed hydroxylation of the C(5)-H((5-exo)) bond in camphor has been studied theoretically by a combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach. Density functional theory is employed to treat the electronic structure of the active site (40-100 atoms), while the protein and solvent environment (ca. 24,000 atoms) is described by the CHARMM force field. The calculated energy profile of the hydrogen-abstraction oxygen-rebound mechanism indicates that the reaction takes place in two spin states (doublet and quartet), as has been suggested earlier on the basis of calculations on simpler models ("two-state reactivity"). While the reaction on the doublet potential energy surface is nonsynchronous, yet effectively concerted, the quartet pathway is truly stepwise, including formation of a distinct intermediate substrate radical and a hydroxo-iron complex. Comparative calculations in the gas phase demonstrate the effect of the protein environment on the geometry and relative stability of intermediates (in terms of spin states and redox electromers) through steric constraints and electronic polarization.

Abstract
Phenylalanine hydroxylase converts phenylalanine to tyrosine utilizing molecular oxygen and tetrahydropterin as a cofactor, and belongs to the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases family. The catalytic domains of these enzymes are structurally similar. According to recent crystallographic studies, residue Tyr179 in Chromobacterium violaceum phenylalanine hydroxylase is located in the active site and its hydroxyl oxygen is 5.1 A from the iron, where it has been suggested to play a role in positioning the pterin cofactor. To determine the catalytic role of this residue, the point mutants Y179F and Y179A of phenylalanine hydroxylase were prepared and characterized. Both mutants displayed comparable stability and metal binding to the native enzyme, as determined by their melting temperatures in the presence and absence of iron. The catalytic activity ( k(cat)) of the Y179F and Y179A proteins was lower than wild-type phenylalanine hydroxylase by an order of magnitude, suggesting that the hydroxyl group of Tyr179 plays a role in the rate-determining step in catalysis. The K(M) values for different tetrahydropterin cofactors and phenylalanine were decreased by a factor of 3-4 in the Y179F mutant. However, the K(M) values for different pterin cofactors were slightly higher in the Y179A mutant than those measured for the wild-type enzyme, and, more significantly, the K(M) value for phenylalanine was increased by 10-fold in the Y179A mutant. By the criterion of k(cat)/ K(Phe), the Y179F and Y179A mutants display 10% and 1%, respectively, of the activity of wild-type phenylalanine hydroxylase. These results are consistent with Tyr179 having a pronounced role in binding phenylalanine but a secondary effect in the formation of the hydroxylating species. In conjunction with recent crystallographic analyses of a ternary complex of phenylalanine hydroxylase, the reported findings establish that Tyr179 is essential in maintaining the catalytic integrity and phenylalanine binding of the enzyme via indirect interactions with the substrate, phenylalanine. A model that accounts for the role of Tyr179 in binding phenylalanine is proposed.

Abstract
The symmetrically ligated complexes 1, 2, and 3 with a (mu-oxo)bis(mu-acetato)diferric core can be one-electron oxidized electrochemically or chemically with aminyl radical cations [*NR3][SbCl6] in acetonitrile yielding complexes which contain the mixed-valent [(mu-oxo)bis(mu-acetato)iron(IV)iron(III)]3+ core: [([9]aneN3)(2FeIII2)(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2](ClO4)2 (1(ClO4)2), [(Me3[9]aneN3)(2FeIII2)(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2](PF6)2 (2(PF6)(2)), and [(tpb)(2FeIII2)(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2] (3) where ([9]aneN3) is the neutral triamine 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and (Me3[9]aneN3) is its tris-N-methylated derivative, and (tpb)(-) is the monoanion trispyrazolylborate. The asymmetrically ligated complex [(Me3[9]aneN3)FeIII(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2FeIII(tpb)](PF6) (4(PF6)) and its one-electron oxidized form [4ox]2+ have also been prepared. Finally, the known heterodinuclear species [(Me3[9]aneN3)CrIII(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2Fe([9]aneN3)](PF6)2 (5(PF6)(2)) can also be one-electron oxidized yielding [5ox]3+ containing an iron(IV) ion. The structure of 4(PF6).0.5CH3CN.0.25(C2H5)2O has been determined by X-ray crystallography and that of [5ox]2+ by Fe K-edge EXAFS-spectroscopy (Fe(IV)-O(oxo): 1.69(1) A; Fe(IV)-O(carboxylato) 1.93(3) A, Fe(IV)-N 2.00(2) A) contrasting the data for 5 (Fe(III)-O(oxo) 1.80 A; Fe(III)-O(carboxylato) 2.05 A, Fe-N 2.20 A). [5ox]2+ has an St = 1/2 ground state whereas all complexes containing the mixed-valent [FeIV(mu-O)(mu-CH3CO2)2FeIII]3+ core have an St = 3/2 ground state. Mössbauer spectra of the oxidized forms of complexes clearly show the presence of low spin FeIV ions (isomer shift approximately 0.02 mm s(-1), quadrupole splitting approximately 1.4 mm s(-1) at 80 K), whereas the high spin FeIII ion exhibits delta approximately 0.46 mm s(-1) and DeltaE(Q) approximately 0.5 mm s(-1). Mössbauer, EPR spectral and structural parameters have been calculated by density functional theoretical methods at the BP86 and B3LYP levels. The exchange coupling constant, J, for diiron complexes with the mixed-valent FeIV-FeIII core (H = -2J S1.S2; S(1) = 5/2; S2 = 1) has been calculated to be -88 cm(-1) (intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling) and for the reduced diferric form of -75 cm(-1) in reasonable agreement with experiment (J = -120 cm(-1)).

Abstract
The reaction of substrate-bound taurine/alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase with O2 has been studied using cryogenic continuous-flow spectroscopy. Transient absorption spectra acquired at -38 degrees C show an exponential decay of a 318-nm chromophore with an apparent rate of 1.3 s-1. The observed optical changes and their kinetics are consistent with the profile of an Fe(IV) species detected recently by Mössbauer spectroscopy (Price et al., Biochemistry 2003, 42, 7497-7508). Resonance Raman measurement upon excitation at 363.7 nm reveal at least two oxygen isotope-sensitive vibrations at 821/787 cm-1 and 583/555 cm-1 for 16O and 18O derivatives, respectively. An additional mode is likely to be obscured by an ethylene glycol vibration at 865 cm-1 and/or 1089 cm-1. The 821 cm-1 vibration is assigned to the stretching mode of Fe(IV)=O species on the basis of its frequency and isotopic shift amplitude. The 583 cm-1 band is likely to originate from an Fe-O2 precursor of the Fe(IV)=O species, although its structural details are unclear at present.

Abstract
Anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), flavonol synthase (FLS), and flavanone 3beta-hydroxylase (FHT) are involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids in plants and are all members of the family of 2-oxoglutarate- and ferrous iron-dependent oxygenases. ANS, FLS, and FHT are closely related by sequence and catalyze oxidation of the flavonoid "C ring"; they have been shown to have overlapping substrate and product selectivities. In the initial steps of catalysis, 2-oxoglutarate and dioxygen are thought to react at the ferrous iron center producing succinate, carbon dioxide, and a reactive ferryl intermediate, the latter of which can then affect oxidation of the flavonoid substrate. Here we describe work on ANS, FLS, and FHT utilizing several different substrates carried out in 18O2/16OH2, 16O2/18OH2, and 18O2/18OH2 atmospheres. In the 18O2/16OH2 atmosphere close to complete incorporation of a single 18O label was observed in the dihydroflavonol products (e.g. (2R,3R)-trans-dihydrokaempferol) from incubations of flavanones (e.g. (2S)naringenin) with FHT, ANS, and FLS. This and other evidence supports the intermediacy of a reactive oxidizing species, the oxygen of which does not exchange with that of water. In the case of products formed by oxidation of flavonoid substrates with a C-3 hydroxyl group (e.g. (2R,3R)-trans-dihydroquercetin), the results imply that oxygen exchange can occur at a stage subsequent to initial oxidation of the C-ring, probably via an enzyme-bound C-3 ketone/3,3-gem-diol intermediate.

Abstract
The aminocoumarin antibiotics novobiocin and clorobiocin contain a 3-dimethylallyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (3DMA-4HB) moiety. The biosynthesis of this moiety has now been identified by biochemical and molecular biological studies. CloQ from the clorobiocin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces roseochromogenes DS 12976 has recently been identified as a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate-3-dimethylallyltransferase. In the present study, the enzyme CloR was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and identified as a bifunctional non-heme iron oxygenase, which converts 3-dimethylallyl-4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (3DMA-4HPP) via 3-dimethylallyl-4-hydroxymandelic acid (3DMA-4HMA) to 3DMA-4HB by two consecutive oxidative decarboxylation steps. In 18O2 labeling experiments we showed that two oxygen atoms are incorporated into the intermediate 3DMA-4HMA in the first reaction step, but only one further oxygen is incorporated into the final product 3DMA-4HB during the second reaction step. CloR does not show sequence similarity to known oxygenases. It apparently presents a novel member of the diverse family of the non-heme iron (II) and alpha-ketoacid-dependent oxygenases, with 3DMA-4HPP functioning both as an alpha-keto acid and as a hydroxylation substrate. The reaction catalyzed by CloR represents a new pathway for the formation of benzoic acids in nature.

Abstract
The fluorescent metal chelating dye calcein is used to obtain an estimate of cellular iron levels and to measure the kinetics of the entry of chelators and chelating drugs into cells. Under reducing conditions in the presence of ascorbic acid, such as that would be present in the cell, the Fe(II)-calcein complex was rapidly formed with a rate constant of 3 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). A slower iron-dependent catalytic degradation of calcein also occurred that resulted in the formation of a non-fluorescent calcein product. The Fe(II)-catalyzed degradation of calcein was largely, but not completely, prevented by catalase. Electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping experiments showed that the Fe(II)-calcein complex promoted formation of hydroxyl or a hydroxyl radical-like species. Together these results indicated that Fe(II) catalyzed the degradation of calcein through both hydrogen peroxide, and to a lesser extent, non-hydrogen peroxide-dependent pathways. The iron-calcein complexes that were responsible for the degradation of calcein were likely high valence oxidizing iron-oxo species such as perferryl or ferryl complexes that were redox cycled by ascorbic acid. Thus, the use of calcein as an intracellular iron-sensing indicator may yield misleading results due to its degradation under certain conditions.

Abstract
The reaction of [Fe(II)(tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, TPA)(NCCH(3))(2)](2+) with 1 equiv. peracetic acid in CH(3)CN at -40 degrees C results in the nearly quantitative formation of a pale green intermediate with lambda(max) at 724 nm ( epsilon approximately 300 M(-1).cm(-1)) formulated as [Fe(IV)(O)(TPA)](2+) by a combination of spectroscopic techniques. Its electrospray mass spectrum shows a prominent feature at mz 461, corresponding to the [Fe(IV)(O)(TPA)(ClO(4))](+) ion. The Mössbauer spectra recorded in zero field reveal a doublet with DeltaE(Q) = 0.92(2) mms and delta = 0.01(2) mms; analysis of spectra obtained in strong magnetic fields yields parameters characteristic of S = 1 Fe(IV)O complexes. The presence of an Fe(IV)O unit is also indicated in its Fe K-edge x-ray absorption spectrum by an intense 1-s --> 3-d transition and the requirement for an ON scatterer at 1.67 A to fit the extended x-ray absorption fine structure region. The [Fe(IV)(O)(TPA)](2+) intermediate is stable at -40 degrees C for several days but decays quantitatively on warming to [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OAc)(TPA)(2)](3+). Addition of thioanisole or cyclooctene at -40 degrees C results in the formation of thioanisole oxide (100% yield) or cyclooctene oxide (30% yield), respectively; thus [Fe(IV)(O)(TPA)](2+) is an effective oxygen-atom transfer agent. It is proposed that the Fe(IV)O species derives from OO bond heterolysis of an unobserved Fe(II)(TPA)-acyl peroxide complex. The characterization of [Fe(IV)(O)(TPA)](2+) as having a reactive terminal Fe(IV)O unit in a nonheme ligand environment lends credence to the proposed participation of analogous species in the oxygen activation mechanisms of many mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes.
