Abstract
Murine adenosine deaminase (mADA) is a prototypic system for studying the thermal activation of active site chemistry within the TIM barrel family of enzyme reactions. Previous temperature-dependent hydrogen deuterium exchange studies under various conditions have identified interconnected thermal networks for heat transfer from opposing protein-solvent interfaces to active site residues in mADA. One of these interfaces contains a solvent exposed helix-loop-helix moiety that presents the hydrophobic face of its long α-helix to the backside of bound substrate. Herein we pursue the time and temperature dependence of solvation dynamics at the surface of mADA, for comparison to established kinetic parameters that represent active site chemistry. We first created a modified protein devoid of native tryptophans with close to native kinetic behavior. Single site-specific tryptophan mutants were back inserted into each of the four positions where native tryptophans reside. Measurements of nanosecond fluorescence relaxation lifetimes and Stokes shift decays, that reflect time dependent environmental reoroganization around the photo-excited state of Trp*, display minimal temperature dependences. These regions serve as controls for the behavior of a new single tryptophan inserted into a solvent exposed region near the helix-loop-helix moiety located behind the bound substrate, Lys54Trp. This installed Trp displays a significantly elevated value for Ea ( k Stokes shift ) ; further, when Phe61 within the long helix positioned behind bound substrate is replaced by a series of aliphatic hydrophobic side chains, the trends in Ea ( k Stokes shift ) mirror the earlier reported impact of the same series of function-altering hydrophobic side chains on the activation energy of catalysis, Ea ( k cat ) .The reported experimental findings implicate a solvent initiated and rapid (>ns) protein restructuring that contributes to the enthalpic activation barrier to catalysis in mADA.

Structural Effects on the Temperature Dependence of Hydride Kinetic Isotope Effects of the NADH/NAD + Model Reactions in Acetonitrile: Charge-Transfer Complex Tightness Is a Key. J Org Chem 2024; 89:3184-3193.

Abstract
It has recently frequently been found that the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is independent of temperature (T) in H-tunneling reactions in enzymes but becomes dependent on T in their mutants. Many enzymologists found that the trend is related to different donor-acceptor distances (DADs) at tunneling-ready states (TRSs), which could be sampled by protein dynamics. That is, a more rigid system of densely populated short DADs gives rise to a weaker T dependence of KIEs. Theoreticians have attempted to develop H-tunneling theories to explain the observations, but none have been universally accepted. It is reasonable to assume that the DAD sampling concept, if it exists, applies to the H-transfer reactions in solution, as well. In this work, we designed NADH/NAD+ model reactions to investigate their structural effects on the T dependence of hydride KIEs in acetonitrile. Hammett correlations together with N-CH3/CD3 secondary KIEs were used to provide the electronic structure of the TRSs and thus the rigidity of their charge-transfer complexation vibrations. In all three pairs of reactions, a weaker T dependence of KIEs always corresponds to a steeper Hammett slope on the substituted hydride acceptors. It was found that a tighter/rigid charge-transfer complexation system corresponds with a weaker T dependence of KIEs, consistent with the observations in enzymes.

Abstract
Hydrogen tunneling in enzyme reactions has played an important role in linking protein thermal motions to the chemical steps of catalysis. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) have served as model systems for such reactions, showcasing deep hydrogen tunneling mechanisms associated with enzymatic C-H bond cleavage from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we examined the effect of solvent viscosity on the protein thermal motions associated with LOX catalysis using trehalose and glucose as viscogens. Kinetic analysis of the reaction of the paradigm plant orthologue, soybean lipoxygenase (SLO), with linoleic acid revealed no effect on the first-order rate constants, kcat, or activation energy, Ea. Further studies of SLO active site mutants displaying varying Eas, which have been used to probe catalytically relevant motions, likewise provided no evidence for viscogen-dependent motions. Kinetic analyses were extended to a representative fungal LOX from M. oryzae, MoLOX, and a human LOX, 15-LOX-2. While MoLOX behaved similarly to SLO, we show that viscogens inhibit 15-LOX-2 activity. The latter implicates viscogen sensitive, conformational motions in animal LOX reactions. The data provide insight into the role of water hydration layers in facilitating hydrogen (quantum) tunneling in LOX.

Abstract
Recently observed nearly temperature (T)-independent kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in wild-type enzymes and T-dependent KIEs in variants were used to suggest that H-tunneling in enzymes is assisted by the fast protein vibrations that help sample short donor-acceptor distances (DADs). This supports the recently proposed role of protein vibrations in DAD sampling catalysis. However, use of T-dependence of KIEs to suggest DAD sampling associated with protein vibrations is debated. We have formulated a hypothesis regarding the correlation and designed experiments in solution to investigate it. The hypothesis is, a more rigid system with shorter DADTRS's at the tunneling ready states (TRSs) gives rise to a weaker T-dependence of KIEs, i.e., a smaller ΔEa (= EaD - EaH). In a former work, the solvent effects of acetonitrile versus chloroform on the ΔEa of NADH/NAD+ model reactions were determined, and the DADPRC's of the productive reactant complexes (PRCs) were computed to substitute the DADTRS for the DADTRS-ΔEa correlation study. A smaller ΔEa was found in the more polar acetonitrile where the positively charged PRC is better solvated and has a shorter DADPRC, indirectly supporting the hypothesis. In this work, the TRS structures of different DADTRS's for the hydride tunneling reaction from 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylimidazoline to 10-methylacridinium were computed. The N-CH3/CD3 secondary KIEs on both reactants were calculated and fitted to the observed values to find the DADTRS order in both solutions. It was found that the equilibrium DADTRS is shorter in acetonitrile than in chloroform. Results directly support the DADTRS-ΔEa correlation hypothesis as well as the explanation that links T-dependence of KIEs to DAD sampling catalysis in enzymes.

Abstract
Protein structural effects on the temperature (T) dependence of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in H-tunneling reactions have recently been used to discuss about the role of enzyme thermal motions in catalysis. Frequently observed nearly T-independent KIEs in the wild-type enzymes and T-dependent KIEs in variants suggest that H-tunneling in the former is assisted by the naturally evolved protein constructive vibrations that help sample short donor-acceptor distances (DADs) needed. This explanation that correlates the T-dependence of KIEs with DAD sampling has been highly debated as simulations following other H-tunneling models sometimes gave alternative explanations. In this paper, solvent effects on the T-dependence of KIEs of two hydride tunneling reactions of NADH/NAD+ analogues (represented by ΔEa = EaD - EaH) were determined in attempts to replicate the observations in enzymes and test the protein vibration-assisted DAD sampling concept. Effects of selected aprotic solvents on the DADPRC's of the productive reactant complexes (PRCs) and the DADTRS's of the activated tunneling ready states (TRSs) were obtained through computations and analyses of the kinetic data, including 2° KIEs, respectively. A weaker T-dependence of KIEs (i.e., smaller ΔEa) was found in a more polar aprotic solvent in which the system has a shorter average DADPRC and DADTRS. Further results show that a charge-transfer (CT) complexation made of a stronger donor/acceptor gives rise to a smaller ΔEa. Overall, the shorter and less broadly distributed DADs resulting from the stronger CT complexation vibrations give rise to a smaller ΔEa. Our results appear to support the explanation that links the T-dependence of KIEs to the donor-acceptor rigidity in enzymes.

Abstract
Recent study of structural effects on primary kinetic isotope effects (1° KIEs) of H-transfer reactions in enzymes and solution revealed that a more rigid reaction system gave rise to a weaker temperature dependence of 1° KIEs, i.e., a smaller isotopic activation energy difference (ΔEa = EaD - EaH). This has been explained within the contemporary vibrationally assisted activated H-tunneling (VA-AHT) model in which rigidity is defined according to the density of donor-acceptor distance (DADTRS) populations at the tunneling ready state (TRS) sampled by heavy atom motions. To test the relationship between DADTRS and ΔEa in the model, we developed a computational method to obtain the TRS structures for H-transfer reactions. The method was applied to three hydride transfer reactions of NADH/NAD+ analogues for which the ΔEa's as well as secondary (2°) KIEs have been reported. The 2° KIEs computed from each TRS structure were fitted to the observed values to obtain the optimal TRSs/DADTRS's. It was found that a shorter DADTRS does correspond with a smaller ΔEa. This appears to support the VA-AHT model. Moreover, an analysis of hybridizations at the bent TRS structures shows that rehybridizations at the donor-acceptor centers are much more advanced than predicted from the classical mechanism. This implies that more orbital preparations are required for the nonclassical H-tunneling to take place.

Abstract
Substituent effects on the temperature dependence of primary kinetic isotope effects, characterized by ΔEa = EaD - EaH, for two series of the title reactions in acetonitrile were studied. The change from ΔEa ≈ 0 for a highly rigid system to ΔEa > 0 for systems with reduced rigidities was observed. The rigidities were controlled by the electronic and steric effects. This work replicates the observations in enzymes and opens a new research direction that studies structure-ΔEa relationship.

Abstract
The effect of temperature on the reaction of alcohol oxidation catalyzed by choline oxidase was investigated with the S101A variant of choline oxidase. Anaerobic enzyme reduction in a stopped-flow spectrophotometer was biphasic using either choline or 1,2-[2H4]-choline as a substrate. The limiting rate constants klim1 and klim2 at saturating substrate were well separated (klim1/klim2>9), and were >15-fold slower than for wild-type choline oxidase. Solvent deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) ~4 established that klim1 probes the proton transfer from the substrate hydroxyl to a catalytic base. Primary substrate deuterium KIEs ≥7 demonstrated that klim2 reports on hydride transfer from the choline alkoxide to the flavin. Between 15°C and 39°C the klim1 and klim2 values increased with increasing temperature, allowing for the analyses of H+ and H- transfers using Eyring and Arrhenius formalisms. Temperature-independent KIE on the klim1 value (H2Oklim1/D2Oklim1) suggests that proton transfer occurs within a highly reorganized tunneling-ready-state with a narrow distribution of donor-acceptor distances. Eyring analysis of the klim2 value gave lines with the slope(choline)>slope(D-choline), suggesting kinetic complexity. Spectral evidence for the transient occurrence of a covalent flavin-substrate adduct during the first phase of the anaerobic reaction of S101A CHO with choline is presented, supporting the notion that an important role of amino acid residues in the active site of flavin-dependent enzymes is to eliminate alternative reactions of the versatile enzyme-bound flavin for the reaction that needs to be catalyzed.
