EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS
hydroxylation has been investigated with the enantiomerically
pure substrate analog norcamphor. (1R)- and
(1S)-norcamphor (>92 enantiomeric excess) were
characterized in the hydroxylation reaction with cytochrome
P450
with respect to the product profile, steady state
kinetics, coupling efficiency, and free energy of substrate
dissociation. The experimental results demonstrate regiospecificity
that is enantiomer-specific and confirm our previously reported
prediction that (1R)-norcamphor is hydroxylated preferentially
at the 5-carbon and (1S)-norcamphor at the 6-carbon (Bass, M.
B., and Ornstein, R. L.(1993) J. Comput. Chem. 14,
541-548); these simulation results are now compared with
simulations involving a ferryl oxygen intermediate. Hydroxylation of
(1R)-norcamphor was found at the 5-, 6-, and 3-carbons in a
ratio of 65:30:5 (respectively), whereas (1S)-norcamphor was
oxidized to produce a 28:62:10 ratio of the same products. With the
exception of the regiospecificity, all of the reaction and physical
parameters are similar for each enantiomer of norcamphor. These results
show that the position of the carbonyl group on the hydrocarbon
skeleton of norcamphor plays a role in determining the average
orientation of this substrate in the active site and suggests that
hydrogen bonding interactions can aid in directing the regiospecificity
and stereospecificity of the hydroxylation reaction catalyzed by
cytochrome P450
