Title: Ab Initio quantum mechanical characterization of the ground electronic state of benzo(a)pyrene. Implications for the mechanism of PAH oxidation to expoxides by cytochrome P-450

Abstract

Electronic properties have an important role in the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) and the mutagenic action of its metabolites. In this paper, the ground electronic state of BP is characterized by the ab initio molecular fragment floating spherical Gaussian orbital method, and a speculative structural-electronic mechanism is presented for the oxidation of PAHs to epoxides by cytochrome P-450.
