Abstract
Murburn concept constitutes the thesis that diffusible reactive species or DRS are obligatorily involved in routine metabolic and physiological activities. Murzymes are defined as biomolecules/proteins that generate/modulate/sustain/utilize DRS. Murburn posttranslational modifications (PTMs) result because murburn/murzyme functionalism is integral to cellular existence. Cells must incorporate the inherently stochastic nature of operations mediated by DRS. Due to the earlier/inertial stigmatic perception that DRS are mere agents of chaos, several such outcomes were either understood as deterministic modulations sponsored by house-keeping enzymes or deemed as unregulated nonenzymatic events resulting out of "oxidative stress". In the current review, I dispel the myths around DRS-functions, and undertake systematic parsing and analyses of murburn modifications of proteins. Although it is impossible to demarcate all PTMs into the classical or murburn modalities, telltale signs of the latter are evident from the relative inaccessibility of the locus, non-specificities and mechanistic details. It is pointed out that while many murburn PTMs may be harmless, some others could have deleterious or beneficial physiological implications. Some details of reversible/irreversible modifications of amino acid residues and cofactors that may be subjected to phosphorylation, halogenation, glycosylation, alkylation/acetylation, hydroxylation/oxidation, etc. are listed, along with citations of select proteins where such modifications have been reported. The contexts of these modifications and their significance in (patho)physiology/aging and therapy are also presented. With more balanced explorations and statistically verified data, a definitive understanding of normal versus pathological contexts of murburn modifications would be obtainable in the future.

Abstract
In this second half of our treatise on oxygenic photosynthesis, we provide support for the murburn model of the light reaction of photosynthesis and ratify key predictions made in the first part. Molecular docking and visualization of various ligands of quinones/quinols (and their derivatives) with PS II/Cytochrome b6f complexes did not support chartered 2e-transport role of quinols. A broad variety of herbicides did not show any affinity/binding-based rationales for inhibition of photosynthesis. We substantiate the proposal that disubstituted phenolics (perceived as protonophores/uncouplers or affinity-based inhibitors in the classical purview) serve as interfacial modulators of diffusible reactive (oxygen) species or DR(O)S. The DRS-based murburn model is evidenced by the identification of multiple ADP-binding sites on the extra-membraneous projection of protein complexes and structure/distribution of the photo/redox catalysts. With a panoramic comparison of the redox metabolic machinery across diverse organellar/cellular systems, we highlight the ubiquitous one-electron murburn facets (cofactors of porphyrin, flavin, FeS, other metal centers and photo/redox active pigments) that enable a facile harnessing of the utility of DRS. In the summative analyses, it is demonstrated that the murburn model of light reaction explains the structures of membrane supercomplexes recently observed in thylakoids and also accounts for several photodynamic experimental observations and evolutionary considerations. In toto, the work provides a new orientation and impetus to photosynthesis research. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 841:156738. [PMID: 35716752 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.156738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) are widely present in the environment, and their health risks are of increasing concern. Available studies primarily confirm their dioxin-like toxicity mechanism based on biomarkers, such as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and CYP1A1, while few studies have investigated their actual toxic effects at the level of individual organisms. In the present study, the developmental toxicity of two typical PHCZs with a high detection rate and high concentration in the environment (3,6-dichlorocarbazol (3,6-DCCZ) and 3,6-dibromocarbazole (3,6-DBCZ)) was investigated based on a fish embryo acute toxicity test (FET, zebrafish) and transcriptomics analysis. The 96 h LC50 values of 3,6-DCCZ and 3,6-DBCZ were 0.636 mg/L and 1.167 mg/L, respectively. Both tested PHCZs reduced the zebrafish heart rate and blocked heart looping at concentrations of 0.5 mg/L or higher. The swimming/escaping behavior of zebrafish larvae was more vulnerable to 3,6-DBCZ than 3,6-DCCZ. Transcriptomics assays showed that multiple pathways linked to organ development, immunization, metabolism and protein synthesis were disturbed in PHCZ-exposed fish, which might be the internal mechanism of the adverse effects. The present study provides evidence that PHCZs cause cardiac developmental toxicity and behavioral changes and improves our understanding of their health risks.

Abstract
The advent of improved structural biology protocols and bioinformatics methodologies have provided paradigm-shifting insights on metabolic or physiological processes catalyzed by homo-/hetero- proteins (super)complexes embedded in phospholipid membranes of cells/organelles. In this panoramic review, we succinctly elucidate the structural features of select redox proteins from four systems: hepatocyte/adrenal cortex endoplasmic reticulum (microsomes), inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae), thylakoid membrane (grana), and in the flattened disks of rod/cone cells (in retina). Besides catalyzing fast/crucial (photo)chemical reactions, these proteins utilize the redox-active diatomic gaseous molecule of oxygen, the elixir of aerobic life. Quite contrary to extant perceptions that invoke primarily deterministic affinity-binding or conformation-change based "proton-pump"/"serial electron-relay" type roles, we advocate murzyme functions for the membrane-embedded proteins in these systems. Murzymes are proteins that generate/stabilize/utilize diffusible reactive (oxygen) species (DRS/DROS) based activities. Herein, we present a brief compendium of the recently revealed wealth of structural information and mechanistic concepts on how the membrane proteins use DRS/DROS to aid 'effective charge separation' and facilitate trans-membrane dynamics of diverse species in milieu, thereby enabling the cells to function as 'simple chemical engines'.

Immobilization of a Bienzymatic System via Crosslinking to a Metal‐Organic Framework. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
A leading biotechnological advancement in the field of biocatalysis is the immobilization of enzymes on solid supports to create more stable and recyclable systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials that have been explored as solid supports for enzyme immobilization. Composed of organic linkers and inorganic nodes, MOFs feature empty void space with large surface areas and have the ability to be modified post-synthesis. Our target enzyme system for immobilization is glucose oxidase (GOx) and chloroperoxidase (CPO). Glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose and is used for many applications in biosensing, biofuel cells, and food production. Chloroperoxidase is a fungal heme enzyme that catalyzes peroxide-dependent halogenation, oxidation, and hydroxylation. These two enzymes work sequentially in this enzyme system by GOx producing peroxide, which activates CPO that reacts with a suitable substrate. This study focuses on using a zirconium-based MOF, UiO-66-NH2, to immobilize the enzyme system via crosslinking with the MOF’s amine group on the surface of the MOF. This study investigates two different crosslinkers: disuccinimidyl glutarate (DSG) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinidimide (NHS), providing stable crosslinking of the MOF to the enzymes. The two crosslinkers are used to covalently bond CPO and GOx onto UiO-66-NH2, and a comparison of the recyclability and enzymatic activity of the single immobilization of CPO and the doubly immobilized CPO and GOx is discussed through assays and characterization analyses. The DSG-crosslinked composites displayed enhanced activity relative to the free enzyme, and all crosslinked enzyme/MOF composites demonstrated recyclability, with at least 30% of the activity being retained after four catalytic cycles. The results of this report will aid researchers in utilizing CPO as a biocatalyst that is more active and has greater recyclability.

Abstract
Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs), whose sequences can be found in the genomes of thousands of filamentous fungi, many yeasts and certain fungus-like protists, are fascinating biocatalysts that transfer peroxide-borne oxygen (from H2O2 or R-OOH) with high efficiency to a wide range of organic substrates, including less or unactivated carbons and heteroatoms. A twice-proline-flanked cysteine (PCP motif) typically ligates the heme that forms the heart of the active site of UPOs and enables various types of relevant oxygenation reactions (hydroxylation, epoxidation, subsequent dealkylations, deacylation, or aromatization) together with less specific one-electron oxidations (e.g., phenoxy radical formation). In consequence, the substrate portfolio of a UPO enzyme always combines prototypical monooxygenase and peroxidase activities. Here, we briefly review nearly 20 years of peroxygenase research, considering basic mechanistic, molecular, phylogenetic, and biotechnological aspects.

Abstract
Mitochondrial membrane-embedded redox proteins are classically perceived as deterministic "electron transport chain" (ETC) arrays cum proton pumps; and oxygen is seen as an "immobile terminal electron acceptor." This is untenable because: (1) there are little free protons to be pumped out of the matrix; (2) proton pumping would be highly endergonic; (3) ETC-chemiosmosis-rotary ATP synthesis proposal is "irreducibly complex"/"non-evolvable" and does not fit with mitochondrial architecture or structural/distribution data of the concerned proteins/components; (4) a plethora of experimental observations do not conform to the postulates/requisites; for example, there is little evidence for viable proton-pumps/pH-gradient in mitochondria, trans-membrane potential (TMP) is non-fluctuating/non-trappable, oxygen is seen to give copious "diffusible reactive (oxygen) species" (DRS/DROS) in milieu, etc. Quite contrarily, the newly proposed murburn model's tenets agree with known principles of energetics/kinetics, and builds on established structural data and reported observations. In this purview, oxygen is needed to make DRS, the principal component of mitochondrial function. Complex V and porins respectively serve as proton-inlet and turgor-based water-exodus portals, thereby achieving organellar homeostasis. Complexes I to IV possess ADP-binding sites and their redox-centers react/interact with O2 /DRS. At/around these complexes, DRS cross-react or activate/oxidize ADP/Pi via fast thermogenic one-electron reaction(s), condensing to form two-electron stabilized products (H2 O2 /H2 O/ATP). The varied architecture and distribution of components in mitochondria validate DRS as (i) the coupling agent of oxidative reactions and phosphorylations, and (ii) the primary reason for manifestation of TMP in steady-state. Explorations along the new precepts stand to provide greater insights on mitochondrial function and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Starting from the basic molecular structure and redox properties of its components, we build a macroscopic cellular electrophysiological model. We first present a murburn purview that could explain ion distribution in bulk-milieu/membrane-interface and support the origin of trans-membrane potential (TMP) in cells. In particular, the discussion focuses on how cells achieve disparity in the distribution of monovalent and divalent cations within (K+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ ) and outside (Na+ > K+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ ). We explore how TMP could vary for resting/graded/action potentials generation and project a model for impulse conduction in neurons. Outcomes based on murburn bioenergetic equilibriums leading to solubilization of ion-pairs, membrane's permittivity, protein channels' fluxes, and proteins' innate ability to bind/adsorb ions selectively are projected as the integral rationale. We also provide experimental modalities to ratify the projections.

Abstract
Ethers can be found in the environment as structural, active or even pollutant molecules, although their degradation is not efficient under environmental conditions. Fungal unspecific heme-peroxygenases (UPO were reported to degrade low-molecular-weight ethers through an H2O2-dependent oxidative cleavage mechanism. Here, we report the oxidation of a series of structurally related aromatic ethers, catalyzed by a laboratory-evolved UPO (PaDa-I) aimed at elucidating the factors influencing this unusual biochemical reaction. Although some of the studied ethers were substrates of the enzyme, they were not efficiently transformed and, as a consequence, secondary reactions (such as the dismutation of H2O2 through catalase-like activity and suicide enzyme inactivation) became significant, affecting the oxidation efficiency. The set of reactions that compete during UPO-catalyzed ether oxidation were identified and quantified, in order to find favorable conditions that promote ether oxidation over the secondary reactions.

Abstract
We explore the mechanism of electron transfers mediated by cytochrome c, a soluble protein involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and cytochrome b5, a microsomal membrane protein acting as a redox aide in xenobiotic metabolism. We found minimal conservation in the sequence and surface amino acid residues of cytochrome c/b5 proteins among divergent species. Therefore, we question the evolutionary logic for electron transfer (ET) occurring through affinity binding via recognition of specific surface residues/topography. Also, analysis of putative protein-protein interactions in the crystal structures of these proteins and their redox partners did not point to any specific interaction logic. A comparison of the kinetic and thermodynamic constants of wildtype vs. mutants did not provide strong evidence to support the binding-based ET paradigm, but indicated support for diffusible reactive species (DRS)-mediated process. Topographically divergent cytochromes from one species have been substituted for reaction with proteins from other species, implying the involvement of non-specific interactions. We provide a viable alternative (murburn concept) to classical protein-protein binding-based long range ET mechanism. To account for the promiscuity of interactions and solvent-accessible hemes, we propose that the two proteins act as non- specific redox capacitors, mediating one-electron redox equilibriums involving DRS and unbound ions.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) is a heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of anthraquinone dyes. A main feature of DyP is the acidic optimal pH for dye-decolorizing activity. In this study, we constructed several mutant DyP enzymes from Vibrio cholerae (VcDyP), with a view to identifying the decisive factor of the low pH preference of DyP. Initially, distal Asp144, a conserved residue, was replaced with His, which led to significant loss of dye-decolorizing activity. Introduction of His into a position slightly distant from heme resulted in restoration of activity but no shift in optimal pH, indicating that distal residues do not contribute to the pH dependence of catalytic activity. His178, an essential residue for dye decolorization, is located near heme and forms hydrogen bonds with Asp138 and Thr278. While Trp and Tyr mutants of His178 were inactive, the Phe mutant displayed ~35% activity of wild-type VcDyP, indicating that this position is a potential radical transfer route from heme to the active site on the protein surface. The Thr278Val mutant displayed similar enzymatic properties as WT VcDyP, whereas the Asp138Val mutant displayed significantly increased activity at pH 6.5. On the basis of these findings, we propose that neither distal amino acid residues, including Asp144, nor hydrogen bonds between His178 and Thr278 are responsible while the hydrogen bond between His178 and Asp138 plays a key role in the pH dependence of activity.

Abstract
In the light reaction of oxygenic photosynthesis, plastocyanin (PC) and ferredoxins (Fd) are small/diffusible redox-active proteins playing key roles in electron transfer/transport phenomena. In the Z-scheme mechanistic purview, they are considered as specific affinity binding-based electron-relay agents, linking the functions of Cytochrome b6f (Cyt. b6f), Photosystem I (PS I) and Fd:NADPH oxidoreductase (FNR). The murburn explanation for photolytic photophosphorylation deems PC/Fd as generic 'redox capacitors', temporally accepting and releasing one-electron equivalents in reaction milieu. Herein, we explore the two theories with respect to structural, distributional and functional aspects of PC/Fd. Amino acid residues located on the surface loci of key patches of PC/Fd vary in electrostatic/contour (topography) signatures. Crystal structures of four different complexes each of Cyt.f-PC and Fd-FNR show little conservation in the contact-surfaces, thereby discrediting 'affinity binding-based electron transfers (ET)' as an evolutionary logic. Further, thermodynamic and kinetic data of wildtype and mutant proteins interactions do not align with Z-scheme. Furthermore, micromolar physiological concentrations of PC and the non-conducive architecture of chloroplasts render the classical model untenable. In the murburn model, as PC is optional, the observation that plants lacking PC survive and grow is justified. Further, the low physiological concentration/distribution of PC in chloroplast lumen/stroma is supported by murburn equilibriums, as higher concentrations would limit electron transfers. Thus, structural evidence, interactive dynamics with redox partners and physiological distribution/role of PC/Fd support the murburn perspective that these proteins serve as generic redox-capacitors in chloroplasts.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The inefficiency of cyanide/HCN (CN) binding with heme proteins (under physiological regimes) is demonstrated with an assessment of thermodynamics, kinetics, and inhibition constants. The acute onset of toxicity and CN's mg/Kg LD50 (μM lethal concentration) suggests that the classical hemeFe binding-based inhibition rationale is untenable to account for the toxicity of CN. In vitro mechanistic probing of CN-mediated inhibition of hemeFe reductionist systems was explored as a murburn model for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (mOxPhos). The effect of CN in haloperoxidase catalyzed chlorine moiety transfer to small organics was considered as an analogous probe for phosphate group transfer in mOxPhos. Similarly, inclusion of CN in peroxidase-catalase mediated one-electron oxidation of small organics was used to explore electron transfer outcomes in mOxPhos, leading to water formation. The free energy correlations from a Hammett study and IC50/Hill slopes analyses and comparison with ligands ( CO/ H 2 S/ N 3 - ) $\left( {\text{CO}}/{{{{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{S}}/{\text{N}_{3}^{\text{-}}}\;}\; \right)$ provide insights into the involvement of diffusible radicals and proton-equilibriums, explaining analogous outcomes in mOxPhos chemistry. Further, we demonstrate that superoxide (diffusible reactive oxygen species, DROS) enables in vitro ATP synthesis from ADP+phosphate, and show that this reaction is inhibited by CN. Therefore, practically instantaneous CN ion-radical interactions with DROS in matrix catalytically disrupt mOxPhos, explaining the acute lethal effect of CN.

Abstract
Two decades of evidence-based exploratory pursuits in heme-flavin enzymology led to the formulation of a new biological electron/moiety transfer paradigm, called murburn concept. Murburn is a novel literary abstraction from "mured burning" or "mild unrestricted burning". This concept was invoked to explain the longstanding conundrum of maverick physiological dose responses and also applied to remodel the prevailing understanding of drug metabolism and cellular respiration. A conglomeration of simple ideas grounded in the known principles of thermodynamics and reaction chemistry, murburn concept invokes catalytic/functional roles for diffusible reactive species or radicals. Hitherto, diffusible reactive species were primarily seen as toxic agents of chaos, non-conducible to the maintenance of life-order. Since the murburn paradigm offers a distinctly different perspective for several biological phenomena, researchers holding conventional views of cellular metabolism pose a direct conflict of interests to the advancement of murburn concept. Murburn schemes are poised to integrate numerous metabolic motifs with holistic physiological outcomes; redefining pursuits in biology and medicine. To advance this agenda, I present a brief account of murburn concept and point out how redundant ideas are still advocated in some prestigious journals.

Abstract
Since mid-1970s, the proton-centric proposal of 'chemiosmosis' became the acclaimed explanation for aerobic respiration. Recently, significant theoretical and experimental evidence were presented for an oxygen-centric 'murburn' mechanism of mitochondrial ATP-synthesis. Herein, we compare the predictive capabilities of the two models with respect to the available information on mitochondrial reaction chemistry and the membrane proteins' structure-function correlations. Next, fundamental queries are addressed on thermodynamics of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (mOxPhos): (1) Can the energy of oxygen reduction be utilized for proton transport? (2) Is the trans-membrane proton differential harness-able as a potential energy capable of doing useful work? and (3) Whether the movement of miniscule amounts of mitochondrial protons could give rise to a potential of ~200 mV and if such an electrical energy could sponsor ATP-synthesis. Further, we explore critically if rotary ATPsynthase activity of Complex V can account for physiological ATP-turnovers. We also answer the question- "What is the role of protons in the oxygen-centric murburn scheme of aerobic respiration?" Finally, it is demonstrated that the murburn reaction model explains the fast kinetics, non-integral stoichiometry and high yield of mOxPhos. Strategies are charted to further demarcate the two explanations' relevance in the cellular physiology of aerobic respiration.

Abstract
The inner mitochondrial membrane protein complexes (I-V) and prokaryotic respiratory machinery are examined for a deeper understanding of their structure-function correlations and dynamics. In silico analysis of the structure of complexes I-IV, docking studies and erstwhile literature confirm that they carry sites which are in close proximity to DROS (diffusible reactive oxygen species) generating redox centers. These findings provide supportive evidence for the newly proposed oxygen-centric chemical-coupling mechanism (murburn concept), wherein DROS catalyzes the esterification of inorganic phosphate to ADP. Further, in a reductionist system, we demonstrate that a DROS (like superoxide) can effectively esterify inorganic phosphate to ADP. The impact of these findings and the interactive dynamics of classical inhibitors (rotenone and cyanide), uncouplers (dinitrophenol and uncoupling protein) and other toxins (atractyloside and oligomycin) are briefly discussed. Highlights • Earlier perception: Complexes (I-IV) pump protons and Complex V make ATP (aided by protons) • Herein: Respiratory molecular machinery is probed for new structure-function correlations • Analyses: Quantitative arguments discount proton-centric ATP synthesis in mitochondria and bacteria • In silico data: ADP-binding sites and O2/ diffusible reactive oxygen species (DROS)-accessible channels are unveiled in respiratory proteins • In vitro data: Using luminometry, ATP synthesis is demonstrated from ADP, Pi and superoxide • Inference: Findings agree with decentralized ADP-Pi activation via oxygen-centric murburn scheme Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) are terminal enzymes on the mitochondrial or bacterial respiratory electron transport chain, which utilize a unique heterobinuclear active site to catalyze the 4H+/4e- reduction of dioxygen to water. This process involves a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a tyrosine (phenolic) residue and additional redox events coupled to transmembrane proton pumping and ATP synthesis. Given that HCOs are large, complex, membrane-bound enzymes, bioinspired synthetic model chemistry is a promising approach to better understand heme-Cu-mediated dioxygen reduction, including the details of proton and electron movements. This review encompasses important aspects of heme-O2 and copper-O2 (bio)chemistries as they relate to the design and interpretation of small molecule model systems and provides perspectives from fundamental coordination chemistry, which can be applied to the understanding of HCO activity. We focus on recent advancements from studies of heme-Cu models, evaluating experimental and computational results, which highlight important fundamental structure-function relationships. Finally, we provide an outlook for future potential contributions from synthetic inorganic chemistry and discuss their implications with relevance to biological O2-reduction.

Abstract
This paper examines the influence of the proximal pockets of cytochrome P450CAM and chloroperoxidase (CPO) on the relative favorability of catalytic epoxidation and allylic hydroxylation of olefins, a type of alkene oxidation selectivity. The study employs quantum mechanical models of the active site to isolate the proximal pocket's influence on the barrier for the selectivity-determining step for each reaction, using cyclohexene and cis-β-methylstyrene as substrates. The proximal pocket is found to preference epoxidation by 2-5 kcal/mol, the largest value being for CPO, converting the active heme-thiolate moiety from being intrinsically hydroxylation-selective to being intrinsically epoxidation-selective. This theoretical study, the first to correctly predict these enzymes' preference for epoxidation of allylic substrates, strongly suggests that the proximal pocket is the key determinant of alkene oxidation selectivity. The selectivity for epoxidation can be rationalized in terms of the proximal pocket's modulation of the thiolate's electron "push" and consequent influence on the heme redox potential and the basicity of the trans ligand.

Abstract
Recently, electron transfers and catalyses in a bevy of redox reactions mediated by hemeproteins were explained by murburn concept. The term “murburn” is abstracted from “muredburning” or “mildunrestrictedburning” and connotes a novel “molecule-unbound ion–radical” interaction paradigm. Quite unlike the genetic regulations and protein-level affinity-based controls that govern order and specificity/selectivity in conventional treatments, murburn concept is based on stochastic/thermodynamic regulatory principles. The novel insight necessitates a “reactivity outside the active-site” perspective, because select redox enzymatic activity is obligatorily mediated via diffusible radical/species. Herein, reactions employing key hemeproteins (as exemplified by CYP2E1) establish direct experimental connection between “additive-influenced redox catalysis” and “unusual dose responses” in reductionist and physiological milieu. Thus, direct and conclusive molecular-level experimental evidence is presented, supporting the mechanistic relevance of murburn concept in “maverick” concentration-based effects brought about by additives. Therefore, murburn concept could potentially explain several physiological hormetic and idiosyncratic dose responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE The currently held mechanistic understanding of microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYPs) seeks that diverse drug molecules bind within the deep-seated distal heme pocket and subsequently react at the heme centre. To explain a bevy of experimental observations and meta-analyses, we indulge a hypothesis that involves a "diffusible radical mediated" mechanism. This new hypothesis posits that many substrates could also bind at alternate loci on/within the enzyme and be reacted without the pertinent moiety accessing a bonding proximity to the purported catalytic Fe-O enzyme intermediate. METHODS Through blind and heme-distal pocket centered dockings of various substrates and non-substrates (drug molecules of diverse sizes, classes, topographies etc.) of microsomal CYPs, we explored the possibility of access of substrates via the distal channels, its binding energies, docking orientations, distance of reactive moieties (or molecule per se) to/from the heme centre, etc. We investigated specific cases like- (a) large drug molecules as substrates, (b) classical marker drug substrates, (c) class of drugs as substrates (Sartans, Statins etc.), (d) substrate preferences between related and unrelated CYPs, (e) man-made site-directed mutants' and naturally occurring mutants' reactivity and metabolic disposition, (f) drug-drug interactions, (g) overall affinities of drug substrate versus oxidized product, (h) meta-analysis of in silico versus experimental binding constants and reaction/residence times etc. RESULTS It was found that heme-centered dockings of the substrate/modulator drug molecules with the available CYP crystal structures gave poor docking geometries and distances from Fe-heme centre. In conjunction with several other arguments, the findings discount the relevance of erstwhile hypothesis in many CYP systems. Consequently, the newly proposed hypothesis is deemed a viable alternate, as it satisfies Occam's razor. CONCLUSIONS The new proposal affords expanded scope for explaining the mechanism, kinetics and overall phenomenology of CYP mediated drug metabolism. It is now understood that the heme-iron and the hydrophobic distal pocket of CYPs serve primarily to stabilize the reactive intermediate (diffusible radical) and the surface or crypts of the apoprotein bind to the xenobiotic substrate (and in some cases, the heme distal pocket could also serve the latter function). Thus, CYPs enhance reaction rates and selectivity/specificity via a hitherto unrecognized modality.

Abstract
Using oxygen and NADPH, the redox enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) and its reductase (CPR) work in tandem to carry out the phase I metabolism of a vast majority of drugs and xenobiotics. As per the erstwhile understanding of the catalytic cycle, binding of the substrate to CYP's heme distal pocket allows CPR to pump electrons through a CPR-CYP complex. In turn, this trigger (a thermodynamic push of electrons) leads to the activation of oxygen at CYP's heme-center, to give Compound I, a two-electron deficient enzyme reactive intermediate. The formation of diffusible radicals and reactive oxygen species (DROS, hitherto considered an undesired facet of the system) was attributed to the heme-center. Recently, we had challenged these perceptions and proposed the murburn ("mured burning" or "mild unrestricted burning") concept to explain heme enzymes' catalytic mechanism, electron-transfer phenomena and the regulation of redox equivalents' consumption. Murburn concept incorporates a one-electron paradigm, advocating obligatory roles for DROS. The new understanding does not call for high-affinity substrate-binding at the heme distal pocket of the CYP (the first and the most crucial step of the erstwhile paradigm) or CYP-CPR protein-protein complexations (the operational backbone of the erstwhile cycle). Herein, the dynamics of reduced nicotinamide nucleotides' consumption, peroxide formation and depletion, product(s) formation, etc. was investigated with various controls, by altering reaction variables, environments and through the incorporation of diverse molecular probes. In several CYP systems, control reactions lacking the specific substrate showed comparable or higher peroxide in milieu, thereby discrediting the foundations of the erstwhile hypothesis. The profiles obtained by altering CYP:CPR ratios and the profound inhibitions observed upon the incorporation of catalytic amounts of horseradish peroxidase confirm the obligatory roles of DROS in milieu, ratifying murburn as the operative concept. The mechanism of uncoupling (peroxide/water formation) was found to be dependent on multiple one and two electron equilibriums amongst the reaction components. The investigation explains the evolutionary implications of xenobiotic metabolism, confirms the obligatory role of diffusible reactive species in routine redox metabolism within liver microsomes and establishes that a redox enzyme like CYP enhances reaction rates (achieves catalysis) via a novel (hitherto unknown) modality.

Abstract
Proximal hydrogen bonding of the axial sulfur with the backbone amides (NH-S) is a conserved feature of heme-thiolate enzymes such as chloroperoxidase (CPO) and cytochrome P450 (P450). In CPO, the effect of NH-S bonds is amplified by the dipole moment of the proximal helix. Our gas-phase DFT studies show that the proximal pocket effect significantly enhances CPO's reactivity toward the epoxidation of olefinic substrates. Comparison of models with and without proximal pocket residues shows that with them, the barrier for Cβ-O bond formation is lowered by about ∼4.6 kcal/mol, while Cα-O-Cβ ring closure becomes barrierless. The dipole moment of the proximal helix was estimated to contribute 1/3 of the decrease, while the rest is attributed to the effect of NH-S bonds. The decrease of the reaction barrier correlates with increased electron density transfer to residues of the proximal pocket. The effect is most pronounced on the doublet spin surface and involves a change in the electron-transfer mechanism. A full enzyme QMMM study on the doublet spin surface gives about the same barrier as the gas-phase DFT study. The free-energy barrier was estimated to be in agreement with the experimental results for the CPO-catalyzed epoxidation of styrene.

Abstract
Despite the fact that halogenated compounds are rare in biology, a number of organisms have developed processes to utilize halogens and in recent years, a string of enzymes have been identified that selectively insert halogen atoms into, for instance, a CH aliphatic bond. Thus, a number of natural products, including antibiotics, contain halogenated functional groups. This unusual process has great relevance to the chemical industry for stereoselective and regiospecific synthesis of haloalkanes. Currently, however, industry utilizes few applications of biological haloperoxidases and halogenases, but efforts are being worked on to understand their catalytic mechanism, so that their catalytic function can be upscaled. In this review, we summarize experimental and computational studies on the catalytic mechanism of a range of haloperoxidases and halogenases with structurally very different catalytic features and cofactors. This chapter gives an overview of heme-dependent haloperoxidases, nonheme vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases, and flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent haloperoxidases. In addition, we discuss the S-adenosyl-l-methionine fluoridase and nonheme iron/α-ketoglutarate-dependent halogenases. In particular, computational efforts have been applied extensively for several of these haloperoxidases and halogenases and have given insight into the essential structural features that enable these enzymes to perform the unusual halogen atom transfer to substrates.

Abstract
The enzyme chloroperoxidase (CPO) was immobilized in silica sol-gel beads prepared from tetramethoxysilane. The average pore diameter of the silica host structure (~3 nm) was smaller than the globular CPO diameter (~6 nm) and the enzyme remained entrapped after sol-gel maturation. The catalytic performance of the entrapped enzyme was assessed via the pyrogallol peroxidation reaction. Sol-gel beads loaded with 4 μg CPO per mL sol solution reached 9–12% relative activity compared to free CPO in solution. Enzyme kinetic analysis revealed a decrease inkcatbut no changes inKMorKI. Product release or enzyme damage might thus limit catalytic performance. Yet circular dichroism and visible absorption spectra of transparent CPO sol-gel sheets did not indicate enzyme damage. Activity decline due to methanol exposure was shown to be reversible in solution. To improve catalytic performance the sol-gel protocol was modified. The incorporation of 5, 20, or 40% methyltrimethoxysilane resulted in more brittle sol-gel beads but the catalytic performance increased to 14% relative to free CPO in solution. The use of more acidic casting buffers (pH 4.5 or 5.5 instead of 6.5) resulted in a more porous silica host reaching up to 18% relative activity.

Abstract
The enzymatic oxyfunctionalization of organic molecules under physiological conditions has attracted keen interest from the chemical community. Unspecific peroxygenases (EC 1.11.2.1) secreted by fungi represent an intriguing enzyme type that selectively transfers peroxide-borne oxygen with high efficiency to diverse substrates including unactivated hydrocarbons. They are glycosylated heme-thiolate enzymes that form a separate superfamily of heme proteins. Among the catalyzed reactions are hydroxylations, epoxidations, dealkylations, oxidations of organic hetero atoms and inorganic halides as well as one-electron oxidations. The substrate spectrum of fungal peroxygenases and the product patterns show similarities both to cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and classic heme peroxidases. Given that selective oxyfunctionalizations are among the most difficult to realize chemical reactions and that respectively transformed molecules are of general importance in organic and pharmaceutical syntheses, it will be worth developing peroxygenase biocatalysts for industrial applications.

Abstract
To unravel the mechanism of chloroperoxidase (CPO)-catalyzed regioselective oxidation of indole, we studied the structure of the CPO-indole complex using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation measurements and computational techniques. The dissociation constant (KD) of the CPO-indole complex was calculated to be approximately 21 mM. The distances (r) between protons of indole and the heme iron calculated via NMR relaxation measurements and molecular docking revealed that the pyrrole ring of indole is oriented toward the heme with its 2-H pointing directly at the heme iron. Both KD and r values are independent of pH in the range of 3.0-6.5. The stability and structure of the CPO-indole complex are also independent of the concentration of chloride or iodide ion. Molecular docking suggests the formation of a hydrogen bond between the NH group of indole and the carboxyl O of Glu 183 in the binding of indole to CPO. Simulated annealing of the CPO-indole complex using r values from NMR experiments as distance restraints reveals that the van der Waals interactions were much stronger than the Coulomb interactions in the binding of indole to CPO, indicating that the association of indole with CPO is primarily governed by hydrophobic rather than electrostatic interactions. This work provides the first experimental and theoretical evidence of the long-sought mechanism that leads to the "unexpected" regioselectivity of the CPO-catalyzed oxidation of indole. The structure of the CPO-indole complex will serve as a lighthouse in guiding the design of CPO mutants with tailor-made activities for biotechnological applications.
