Abstract
An H/D kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 80 is found at -20 °C for the oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene by [FeIV(O)(TMCS)]+, a complex supported by the tetramethylcyclam (TMC) macrocycle with a tethered thiolate. This KIE value approaches that previously predicted by DFT calculations. Other [FeIV(O)(TMC)(anion)] complexes exhibit values of 20, suggesting that the thiolate ligand of [FeIV(O)(TMCS)]+ plays a unique role in facilitating tunneling. Calculations show that tunneling is most enhanced (a) when the bond asymmetry between C-H bond breaking and O-H bond formation in the transition state is minimized, and (b) when the electrostatic interactions in the O---H---C moiety are maximal. These two factors-which peak for the best electron donor, the thiolate ligand-afford a slim and narrow barrier through which the H-atom can tunnel most effectively.

Abstract
The composition of ferric exogenous ligand-free His93Gly sperm whale myoglobin (H93G Mb) at neutral pH has been determined by examination of the spectral properties of the protein over the pH range from 3.0 to 10.5. An apparent pKa value of ~6.6 has been observed for the conversion of a postulated six-coordinate bis-water-bound coordination structure at pH 5.0 to a five-coordinate hydroxide-bound form at pH 10.5. Starting from the exogenous ligand-free ferric H93G protein, ferric mono- and bis-thioether (tetrahydrothiophene, THT)-ligated adducts have been prepared and characterized by UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. The mon-THT ferric H93G Mb species has hydroxide as the sixth ligand. The bis-THT derivative is a model for the low-spin ferric heme binding site of native bis-Met-ligated bacterioferritin or streptococcal heme-associated protein (Shp). A novel THT-bound ferryl H93G Mb moiety has been partially formed. The high-spin five-coordinate ferric H93G(selenolate) Mb complex has been prepared using benzeneselenol and characterized by UV-vis and MCD spectroscopy as a model for Se-Cys-ligated ferric cytochrome P450. The results described herein further demonstrate the versatility of the H93G cavity mutant for modeling the coordination structures of novel heme iron protein active sites.

Abstract
This paper investigates the enzyme chloroperoxidase (CPO) by means of hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations. The effects of anionic substrate, protein environment, and proximal ligand mutation on the high-valent iron-oxo species, compound I (Cpd I), and the ferric hydroperoxide complex, compound 0 (Cpd 0), are studied. The results indicate that the presence of an anionic substrate (acetate) and the protonation state of one critical residue (Glu104) have a considerable impact on the relative stabilities of Cpd I and Cpd 0. In the absence of the substrate or when the substrate is protonated, Cpd I is considerably more stable, and its formation barrier is smaller than in the case where the substrate is in its anionic state and when Glu104 is deprotonated. This trend, which is shown to be a simple manifestation of the Hammond principle, reproduces the experimental observation that the working pH of the enzyme is acidic. Furthermore, in the absence of substrate (or when it is protonated), the relative Cpd 0/Cpd I energies are found to be a good index of Cpd I stability in heme enzymes and to follow the experimental order: horseradish peroxidase (HRP) > CPO > P450. In silico mutation of the proximal ligand from cysteine to selenocysteine was found to have no effect at all on the properties of Cpd I (e.g., spin density on the chalcogen, Mössbauer parameters, etc.) and its relative stability to Cpd 0 or on the corresponding barrier for formation. This surprising finding shows that the polar CPO pocket applies a leveling effect that stabilizes the anionic forms of the proximal ligands (CysS(-) and CysSe(-)). This in turn means that the Se-Cpd I of the mutant CPO is observable.

Abstract
The unique monooxygenase activity of cytochrome P450cam has been attributed to coordination of a cysteine thiolate to the heme cofactor. To investigate this interaction, we replaced cysteine with the more electron-donating selenocysteine. Good yields of the selenoenzyme were obtained by bacterial expression of an engineered gene containing the requisite UGA codon for selenocysteine and a simplified yet functional selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS). The sulfur-to-selenium substitution subtly modulates the structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of the enzyme. Catalytic activity decreases only 2-fold, whereas substrate oxidation becomes partially uncoupled from electron transfer, implying a more complex role for the axial ligand than generally assumed.

Abstract
To characterize heme oxygenase with a selenocysteine (SeCys) as the proximal iron ligand, we have expressed truncated human heme oxygenase-1 (hHO-1) His25Cys, in which Cys-25 is the only cysteine, in the Escherichia coli cysteine auxotroph strain BL21(DE3)cys. Selenocysteine incorporation into the protein was demonstrated by both intact protein mass measurement and mass spectrometric identification of the selenocysteine-containing tryptic peptide. One selenocysteine was incorporated into approximately 95% of the expressed protein. Formation of an adduct with Ellman's reagent (DTNB) indicated that the selenocysteine in the expressed protein was in the reduced state. The heme-His25SeCys hHO-1 complex could be prepared by either (a) supplementing the overexpression medium with heme, or (b) reconstituting the purified apoprotein with heme. Under reducing conditions in the presence of imidazole, a covalent bond is formed by addition of the selenocysteine residue to one of the heme vinyl groups. No covalent bond is formed when the heme is replaced by mesoheme, in which the vinyls are replaced by ethyl groups. These results, together with our earlier demonstration that external selenolate ligands can transfer an electron to the iron [Y. Jiang, P.R. Ortiz de Montellano, Inorg. Chem. 47 (2008) 3480-3482 ], indicate that a selenyl radical is formed in the hHO-1 His25SeCys mutant that adds to a heme vinyl group.
