Abstract
Artificial dye-coupled assays have been widely adopted as a rapid and convenient method to assess the activity of methanol dehydrogenases (MDH). Lanthanide(Ln)-dependent XoxF-MDHs are able to incorporate different lanthanides (Lns) in their active site. Dye-coupled assays showed that the earlier Lns exhibit a higher enzyme activity than the late Lns. Despite widespread use, there are limitations: oftentimes a pH of 9 and activators are required for the assay. Moreover, Ln-MDH variants are not obtained by isolation from the cells grown with the respective Ln, but by incubation of an apo-MDH with the Ln. Herein, we report the cultivation of Ln-dependent methanotroph Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV with nine different Lns, the isolation of the respective MDHs and the assessment of the enzyme activity using the dye-coupled assay. We compare these results with a protein-coupled assay using its physiological electron acceptor cytochrome cGJ (cyt cGJ ). Depending on the assay, two distinct trends are observed among the Ln series. The specific enzyme activity of La-, Ce- and Pr-MDH, as measured by the protein-coupled assay, exceeds that measured by the dye-coupled assay. This suggests that early Lns also have a positive effect on the interaction between XoxF-MDH and its cyt cGJ thereby increasing functional efficiency.

Abstract
Enzyme catalysis is governed by a limited toolkit of residues and organic or inorganic co-factors. Therefore, it is expected that recurring residue arrangements will be found across the enzyme space, which perform a defined catalytic function, are structurally similar and occur in unrelated enzymes. Leveraging the integrated information in the Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas (M-CSA) (enzyme structure, sequence, catalytic residue annotations, catalysed reaction, detailed mechanism description), 3D templates were derived to represent compact groups of catalytic residues. A fuzzy template-template search, allowed us to identify those recurring motifs, which are conserved or convergent, that we define as the "modules of enzyme catalysis". We show that a large fraction of these modules facilitate binding of metal ions, co-factors and substrates, and are frequently the result of convergent evolution. A smaller number of convergent modules perform a well-defined catalytic role, such as the variants of the catalytic triad (i.e. Ser-His-Asp/Cys-His-Asp) and the saccharide-cleaving Asp/Glu triad. It is also shown that enzymes whose functions have diverged during evolution preserve regions of their active site unaltered, as shown by modules performing similar or identical steps of the catalytic mechanism. We have compiled a comprehensive library of catalytic modules, that characterise a broad spectrum of enzymes. These modules can be used as templates in enzyme design and for better understanding catalysis in 3D.

Abstract
One-carbon (C1) chemicals are potential building blocks for cheap and sustainable re-sources such as methane, methanol, formaldehyde, formate, carbon monoxide, and more. These resources have the potential to be made into raw materials for various products used in our daily life or precursors for pharmaceuticals through biological and chemical processes. Among the soluble C1 substrates, methanol is regarded as a biorenewable platform feedstock because nearly all bioresources can be converted into methanol through syngas. Synthetic methylotrophy can be exploited to produce fuels and chemicals using methanol as a feedstock that integrates natural or artificial methanol assimilation pathways in platform microorganisms. In the methanol utilization in methylotrophy, methanol dehydrogenase (Mdh) is a primary enzyme that converts methanol to formaldehyde. The discovery of new Mdhs and engineering of present Mdhs have been attempted to develop synthetic methylotrophic bacteria. In this review, we describe Mdhs, including in terms of their enzyme properties and engineering for desired activity. In addition, we specifically focus on the application of various Mdhs for synthetic methylotrophy.

Abstract
Coupled dinuclear copper oxygen cores (Cu2 O2 ) featured in type III copper proteins (hemocyanin, tyrosinase, catechol oxidase) are vital for O2 transport and substrate oxidation in many organisms. μ-1,2-cis peroxido dicopper cores (C P) have been proposed as key structures in the early stages of O2 binding in these proteins; their reversible isomerization to other Cu2 O2 cores are directly relevant to enzyme function. Despite the relevance of such species to type III copper proteins and the broader interest in the properties and reactivity of bimetallic C P cores in biological and synthetic systems, the properties and reactivity of C P Cu2 O2 species remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report the reversible interconversion of μ-1,2-trans peroxido (T P) and C P dicopper cores. CaII mediates this process by reversible binding at the Cu2 O2 core, highlighting the unique capability for metal-ion binding events to stabilize novel reactive fragments and control O2 activation in biomimetic systems.

Abstract
The active site of methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) contains a rare disulfide bridge between adjacent cysteine residues. As a vicinal disulfide, the structure is highly strained, suggesting it might work together with the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) prosthetic group and the Ca2+ ion in the catalytic turnover during methanol (CH3OH) oxidation. We purify MDH from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) with the disulfide bridge broken into two thiols. Spectroscopic and high-resolution X-ray crystallographic studies of this form of MDH indicate that the disulfide bridge is redox active. We observe an internal redox process within the holo-MDH that produces a disulfide radical anion concomitant with a companion PQQ radical, as evidenced by an optical absorption at 408 nm and a magnetically dipolar-coupled biradical in the EPR spectrum. These observations are corroborated by electron-density changes between the two cysteine sulfurs of the disulfide bridge as well as between the bound Ca2+ ion and the O5-C5 bond of the PQQ in the high-resolution X-ray structure. On the basis of these findings, we propose a mechanism for the controlled redistribution of the two electrons during hydride transfer from the CH3OH in the alcohol oxidation without formation of the reduced PQQ ethenediol, a biradical mechanism that allows for possible recovery of the hydride for transfer to an external NAD+ oxidant in the regeneration of the PQQ cofactor for multiple catalytic turnovers. In support of this mechanism, a steady-state level of the disulfide radical anion is observed during turnover of the MDH in the presence of CH3OH and NAD+.

Abstract
Among the several alcohol dehydrogenases, PQQ-dependent enzymes are mainly found in the α, β, and γ-proteobacteria. These proteins are classified into three main groups. Type I ADHs are localized in the periplasm and contain one Ca2+-PQQ moiety, being the methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) the most representative. In recent years, several lanthanide-dependent MDHs have been discovered exploding the understanding of the natural role of lanthanide ions. Type II ADHs are localized in the periplasm and possess one Ca2+-PQQ moiety and one heme c group. Finally, type III ADHs are complexes of two or three subunits localized in the cytoplasmic membrane and possess one Ca2+-PQQ moiety and four heme c groups, and in one of these proteins, an additional [2Fe-2S] cluster has been discovered recently. From the bioinorganic point of view, PQQ-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases have been revived recently mainly due to the discovery of the lanthanide-dependent enzymes. Here, we review the three types of PQQ-dependent ADHs with special focus on their structural features and electron transfer processes. The PQQ-Alcohol dehydrogenases are classified into three main groups. Type I and type II ADHs are located in the periplasm, while type III ADHs are in the cytoplasmic membrane. ADH-I have a Ca-PQQ or a Ln-PQQ, ADH-II a Ca-PQQ and one heme-c and ADH-III a Ca-PQQ and four hemes-c. This review focuses on their structural features and electron transfer processes.

Abstract
A large number of enzymes need a metal ion to express their catalytic activity. Among the different roles that metal ions can play in the catalytic event, the most common are their ability to orient the substrate correctly for the reaction, to exchange electrons in redox reactions, to stabilize negative charges. In many reactions catalyzed by metal ions, they behave like the proton, essentially as Lewis acids but are often more effective than the proton because they can be present at high concentrations at neutral pH. In an attempt to adapt to drastic environmental conditions, enzymes can take advantage of the presence of many metal species in addition to those defined as native and still be active. In fact, today we know enzymes that contain essential bulk, trace, and ultra-trace elements. In this work, we report theoretical results obtained for three different enzymes each of which contains different metal ions, trying to highlight any differences in their working mechanism as a function of the replacement of the metal center at the active site.

Abstract
Interest in the bioinorganic chemistry of lanthanides is growing rapidly as more and more lanthanide-dependent bacteria are being discovered. Especially the earlier lanthanides have been shown to be preferentially utilized by bacteria that need these Lewis acids as cofactors in their alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes. Here, we investigate the impact of the lanthanide ions lanthanum(iii) to lutetium(iii) (excluding Pm) on the catalytic parameters (vmax, KM, kcat/KM) of a methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) isolated from Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV. Kinetic experiments and DFT calculations were used to discuss why only the earlier lanthanides (La-Gd) promote high MDH activity. Impact of Lewis acidity, coordination number preferences, stability constants and other properties that are a direct result of the lanthanide contraction are discussed in light of the two proposed mechanisms for MDH.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the biological relevance of rare earth elements (REEs) for numerous different bacteria, questions concerning the advantages of REEs in the active sites of methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs) over calcium(II) and of why bacteria prefer light REEs have been a subject of debate. Here we report the cultivation and purification of the strictly REE-dependent methanotrophic bacterium Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV with europium(III), as well as structural and kinetic analyses of the first methanol dehydrogenase incorporating Eu in the active site. Crystal structure determination of the Eu-MDH demonstrated that overall no major structural changes were induced by conversion to this REE. Circular dichroism (CD) measurements were used to determine optimal conditions for kinetic assays, whereas inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) showed 70 % incorporation of Eu in the enzyme. Our studies explain why bacterial growth of SolV in the presence of Eu3+ is significantly slower than in the presence of La3+ /Ce3+ /Pr3+ : Eu-MDH possesses a decreased catalytic efficiency. Although REEs have similar properties, the differences in ionic radii and coordination numbers across the series significantly impact MDH efficiency.

Abstract
Difference in the coordination modes of pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ), a redox-active heteroaromatic cofactor, in ruthenium(ii) complexes, drastically affects the stability of the metal coordination and the reversibility of the reduction process of the PQQ ligand. Additional metal-ion binding to the PQQ ligand largely raises its 1e−-reduction potential.

Abstract
Rare-earth metal cations have recently been demonstrated to be essential co-factors for the growth of the methanotrophic bacterium Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV. A crystal structure of the rare-earth-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) includes a cerium cation in the active site. Herein, the Ce-MDH active site has been analyzed through DFT calculations. The results show the stability of the Ce(III)-pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) semiquinone configuration. Calculations on the active oxidized form of this complex indicate a 0.81 eV stabilization of the PQQ(0) LUMO at cerium versus calcium, supporting the observation that the cerium cation in the active site confers a competitive advantage to Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV. Using reported aqueous electrochemical data, a semi-empirical correlation was established based on cerium(IV/III) redox potentials. The correlation allowed estimation of the cerium oxidation potential of +1.35 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) in the active site. The results are expected to guide the design of functional model complexes and alcohol-oxidation catalysts based on lanthanide complexes of biologically relevant quinones.

Abstract
This review considers quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases and FAD-dependent alcohol oxidases, enzymes that are present in numerous methylotrophic eu- and prokaryotes and significantly differ in their primary and quaternary structure. The cofactors of the enzymes are bound to the protein polypeptide chain through ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Microorganisms containing these enzymes are described. Methods for purification of the enzymes, their physicochemical properties, and spatial structures are considered. The supposed mechanism of action and practical application of these enzymes as well as their producers are discussed.

Abstract
A significant number of different exchange correlation functionals, ranging from generalized gradient approximations to double hybrids, has been tested on a difficult playground represented by proton transfer reactions. In order to have a complete picture of their performances, both energetics and structural features have been compared and the obtained ranking compared with those issued from the standard test for kinetics (i.e., the DBH24/08 set). Among all of the functionals, the ωB97X, BMK, B1LYP, and PBE0-DH approaches are those providing a good error balance on all four trials. Beyond these figures, the obtained results allow for some general considerations, such as those on the role of Hartree-Fock exchange in reaction barriers or the relation between structure and energetics.

Abstract
Density functional theory was applied to study the binding mode of new flavonoids as possible inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), an enzyme that catalyzes the four-electron reduction of HMGCoA to mevalonate, the committed step in the biosynthesis of sterols. The investigated flavonoid conjugates brutieridin and melitidin were recently quantified in the bergamot fruit extracts and identified to be structural analogues of statins, lipids concentration lowering drugs that inhibit HMGR. Computations allowed us to perform a detailed analysis of the geometrical and electronic features affecting the binding of these compounds, as well as that of the excellent simvastatin drug, to the active site of the enzyme and to give better insight into the inhibition process.

Abstract
The possible mechanism by which the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) zinc-binding protease carries out its catalytic function toward two peptides of different length, simulating a portion of B chain of insulin, was investigated on an enzymatic model consisting of 130 /159 atoms, using the density functional theory method and the hybrid exchange-correlation functional B3LYP in gas phase and in the protein environment. Based on the geometry and relative stabilities of minima and transition states on the potential energy profiles, we determined that proteolysis reaction is exothermic and proceeds quickly as the barrier in the rate-limiting step falls widely within the range of values expected for an enzymatic catalysis, both in vacuum and in protein medium.
