Spectroscopic identification of reactive porphyrin motions.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) reveals the vibrational dynamics of a Mössbauer probe nucleus. Here, (57)Fe NRVS measurements yield the complete spectrum of Fe vibrations in halide complexes of iron porphyrins. Iron porphine serves as a useful symmetric model for the more complex spectrum of asymmetric heme molecules that contribute to numerous essential biological processes. Quantitative comparison with the vibrational density of states (VDOS) predicted for the Fe atom by density functional theory calculations unambiguously identifies the correct sextet ground state in each case. These experimentally authenticated calculations then provide detailed normal mode descriptions for each observed vibration. All Fe-ligand vibrations are clearly identified despite the high symmetry of the Fe environment. Low frequency molecular distortions and acoustic lattice modes also contribute to the experimental signal. Correlation matrices compare vibrations between different molecules and yield a detailed picture of how heme vibrations evolve in response to (a) halide binding and (b) asymmetric placement of porphyrin side chains. The side chains strongly influence the energetics of heme doming motions that control Fe reactivity, which are easily observed in the experimental signal.

Resonance Raman Spectroscopic Examination of Ferrochelatase-induced Porphyrin Distortion.

Project description:Ferrochelatase, the terminal enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX to give heme. Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been instrumental in defining the distortion (mode and extent) of the porphyrin substrate, which is a critical step in the catalytic mechanism of ferrochelatase. Saddling is the predominant porphyrin out-of-plane deformation induced upon binding to ferrochelatase. Our analysis demonstrated that the intensity of the ?(15) line, which is assigned to an out-of-plane porphyrin vibration, in resonance Raman spectra obtained for wild-type- and variant ferrochelatase-bound porphyrin, correlates with the saddling deformation undergone by the porphyrin substrate. Further analysis of the three dimensional X-ray structures of bacterial, human and yeast ferrochelatases and the type and extent of distortion of the protein-bound porphyrin substrate and inhibitors using normal structure decomposition, support the view that ferrochelatase catalysis involves binding of a distorted porphyrin substrate and releasing of a flatter, metalated porphyrin.

First Example of a Heptazine-Porphyrin Dyad; Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties.

Project description:We have prepared the first example of a porphyrin linked to an heptazine photoactive antenna. The two entities, linked with an alkyl spacer, demonstrate the activity of both active moieties. While they behave electrochemically independantly, on the other hand the spectroscopy shows the existence of energy transfer between both partners.

Photochemical production of a highly reactive porphyrin-iron-oxo species.

Project description:Oxidation of 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinatoiron(III) perchlorate, (TMP)FeIII(ClO4), with ferric perchlorate in acetonitrile gave a metastable species identified as (TMP)FeIV(ClO4)2 that decayed within seconds to the known isomeric species (TMP*+)FeIII(ClO4)2. Irradiation of the metastable species with 355 nm laser light gave a highly reactive transient that reacts with simple organic reductants (alkenes and arylalkanes) 5 orders of magnitude faster than known Compound I analogues, (TMP*+)FeIV(O)(X-).

Iron porphyrin carbenes as catalytic intermediates: structures, Mossbauer and NMR spectroscopic properties, and bonding.

Project description:Iron porphyrin carbenes (IPCs) are thought to be intermediates involved in the metabolism of various xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, as well as in chemical reactions catalyzed by metalloporphyrins and engineered?P450s. While early work proposed IPCs to contain Fe(II), more recent work invokes a double-bond description of the iron-carbon bond, similar to that found in Fe(IV) porphyrin oxenes. Reported herein is the first quantum chemical investigation of IPC Mössbauer and NMR spectroscopic properties, as well as their electronic structures, together with comparisons to ferrous heme proteins and an Fe(IV) oxene model. The results provide the first accurate predictions of the experimental spectroscopic observables as well as the first theoretical explanation of their electrophilic nature, as deduced from experiment. The preferred resonance structure is Fe(II)?{:C(X)Y}(0) and not Fe(IV)={C(X)Y}(2-), a result that will facilitate research on IPC reactivities in various chemical and biochemical systems.

Synthesis, Kinetic Study, and Spectroscopic Analysis of Peroxidase-like Pinch-Porphyrin Fe(III) Complexes.

Project description:In the present manuscript, we report the kinetic and spectroscopic analysis of six new pinch-porphyrins: protoporphyrin-picpenta 1, mesoporphyrin-picpenta 2, deuteroporphyrin-picpenta 3, protoporphyrin-picocta 4, mesoporphyrin-picocta 5, and deuteroporphyrin-picocta 6. The Michaelis-Menten enzymatic pathway and the guaiacol test confirmed the ability of the compounds to function like new peroxidase models. UV-vis, 1H NMR, and electron spin resonance studies are in accordance with porphyrin-Fe(III) molecules with the quantum phenomena called quantum mixed spin (qms, s = 3/2, s = 5/2). Importantly, the influence of the presence of the s = 3/2 spin state in the compounds and its critical role for the catalytic capacity is proven here, which was the original hypothesis in our research group. The compounds with higher populations of the s = 3/2 spin state have increased peroxidase activity.

Porphyrins Through the Looking Glass: Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Insights in Supramolecular Chirogenesis of New Self-Assembled Porphyrin Derivatives.

Project description:The solvent driven aggregation of porphyrin derivatives, covalently linked to a L- or D-prolinate enantiomer, results in the stereospecific formation of species featuring remarkable supramolecular chirality, as a consequence of reading and amplification of the stereochemical information stored in the proline-appended group. Spectroscopic, kinetic, and topographic SEM studies gave important information on the aggregation processes, and on the structures of the final chiral architectures. The results obtained may be the seeds for the construction of stereoselective sensors aiming at the detection, for example, of novel emergent pollutants from agrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical industry.

A Barcoded Polymer-Based Cross-Reactive Spectroscopic Sensor Array for Organic Volatiles.

Project description:The development of cross-reactive sensor arrays for volatile organics (electronic noses, e-noses) is an active area of research. In this manuscript, we present a new format for barcoded polymer sensor arrays based on porous polymer beads. An array of nine self-encoded polymers was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy before and after exposure to a series of volatile organic compounds, and the changes in the vibrational fingerprints of their polymers was recorded before and after exposure. Our results show that the spectroscopic changes experienced by the porous spectroscopically encoded beads after exposure to an analyte can be used to identify and classify the target analytes. To expedite this analysis, analyte-specific changes induced in the sensor arrays were transformed into a response pattern using multivariate data analysis. These studies established the barcoded bead array format as a potentially effective sensing element in e-nose devices. Devices such as these have the potential to advance personalized medicine, providing a platform for non-invasive, real-time volatile metabolite detection.

Porphyrin overdrive rewires cancer cell metabolism

Project description:All cancer cells reprogram metabolism to support aberrant growth. Here, we report that cancer cells employ and depend on imbalanced and dynamic heme metabolic pathways, to accumulate heme intermediates, i.e., porphyrins. We coined this essential metabolic rewiring ‘porphyrin overdrive’ and determined that it is cancer-essential and cancer-specific. Among the major drivers are genes encoding mid-step enzymes governing the production of heme intermediates. CRISPR/Cas9 editing to engineer leukemia cell lines with impaired heme biosynthetic steps confirmed our whole genomic data analyses that porphyrin overdrive is linked to oncogenic states and cellular differentiation. While porphyrin overdrive is absent in differentiated cells or somatic stem cells, it is present in patient-derived tumor progenitor cells, demonstrated by single cell RNAseq, and in early embryogenesis. In conclusion, we identified a dependence of cancer cells on non-homeostatic heme metabolism, and we targeted this cancer metabolic vulnerability with a novel “bait-and-kill” strategy to eradicate malignant cells.
