4′-CyanoPLP presents better prospect for the experimental detection of elusive cyclic intermediate radical in the reaction of lysine 5,6-aminomutase
Graphical abstract: The results of our calculations suggest that the reaction of 4′-cyanoPLP with lysine 5,6-aminomutase offers better prospect for the experimental detection of elusive cyclic azacyclopropylcarbinyl radical, which is proposed to be a key intermediate in the reaction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate dependent radical aminomutases. - Highlights: • 4′-CyanoI{sup ·} is the lowest energy radical intermediate in the reaction of 5,6-LAM. • 4′-CyanoPLP offers good prospect for the experimental observation of elusive I{sup ·}. • The calculated HFCCs would help to characterize 4′-cyanoI{sup ·} by EPR. - Abstract: The results of our calculations suggest that the reaction of 4′-cyanoPLP with lysine 5,6-aminomutase offers better prospect for the experimental detection of elusive cyclic azacyclopropylcarbinyl radical (I{sup ·}), which is proposed to be a key intermediate in the reaction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate dependent radical aminomutases. We have calculated the corresponding hyperfine coupling constants (HFCCs) for {sup 14}N and {sup 13}C of cyano group using several basis sets to help the characterization of 4′-cyanoI{sup ·}.
