We report the first study of the effects of hydrostatic pressure on α-2° KIEs for an enzyme-catalysed H-transfer reaction that occurs by 'deep' tunnelling. High pressure causes a significant decrease in the observed α-2° KIE on the pre-steady-state hydride transfer from NADH to FMN in the flavoprotein morphinone reductase. We have recently shown that high pressure causes a reduction in macroscopic reaction barrier width for this reaction. Using DFT vibrational analysis of a simple active site model, we posit that the decrease in α-2° KIE with pressure may arise due to a decrease in the vibrational coupling between the NADH primary (transferred) and secondary hydrogens in the 'tunnelling ready configuration', which more closely resembles the reactant state than the transition state.
我们报告了第一项关于流体静压力对通过“深度”隧穿发生的酶催化氢转移反应的α-2°动力学同位素效应(KIE)影响的研究。高压导致黄素蛋白吗啡酮还原酶中从NADH到FMN的稳态前氢化物转移过程中观察到的α-2°KIE显著降低。我们最近表明,高压会导致该反应的宏观反应势垒宽度减小。通过对一个简单活性位点模型进行密度泛函理论(DFT)振动分析,我们推测随着压力增加α-2°KIE降低可能是由于在“隧穿就绪构型”中NADH一级(转移)氢和二级氢之间的振动耦合减少,这种构型与反应物状态的相似性高于过渡态。
