The theory of electron spin has been proposed for a century, but the study of quantum effects in biological molecules is still in its infancy. Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is a very modern theory that can explain many biochemical phenomena. In this paper, we propose a new theoretical model based on CISS theory and quantum chemistry theory, which can well explain the theoretical explanation of the chiral selectivity of chiral proteins. Moreover, this theory can predict the spin state of corresponding chiral molecules. Taking the L-DOPA and AADC enzymes as examples, this theoretical model elucidates the AADC enzyme's chiral catalysis selectivity and successfully predicts the spin state of L-DOPA and D-DOPA's valence electrons.
电子自旋理论已经提出了一个世纪,但生物分子中量子效应的研究仍处于起步阶段。手性诱导自旋选择性(CISS)是一种非常现代的理论,可以解释许多生化现象。在本文中,我们基于CISS理论和量子化学理论提出了一种新的理论模型,该模型可以很好地解释手性蛋白质的手性选择性的理论解释。此外,该理论可以预测相应手性分子的自旋状态。以L-多巴和AADC酶为例,该理论模型阐明了AADC酶的手性催化选择性,并成功预测了L-多巴和D-多巴价电子的自旋状态。
