Fe2+ |
required, catalytic metal ion, bound by Cys90, His132, and His136, metalloenzyme. Fe2+ leads to the lowest activation barriers for nucleophilic attack due to the ability of Fe2+ to act as a Lewis acid and thereby to more strongly coordinate to and activate the substrate carbonyl leading to a decrease in the energy barrier for the reaction. Fe2+ function analysis by using heteroscorpionate N2Sthiolate biomimetic ligand (L) complexed to Fe2+. The high-spin state for the Fe2+-L coordination complexes here has been shown to be the ground state. Reaction of Fe2+-L with formamide leading to formation of Fe2+-L-(formate) and ammonia |

preference for Fe2+ as the active site metal ion, versus, for example, Zn2+, Co2+, or N2+, despite Fe2+ being uncommon for this class of metalloenzymes and that PDF catalyzes a non-redox reaction. The difference in computed activation energies for deformylation between Fe2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ complexes with ligand L is fully consistent with experimental kinetics data for the Fe2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ forms of PDF as well as with the results from the earlier QM/MM computational studies |

physiological function |
the metalloenzyme peptide deformylase (PDF) plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of proteins by eubacteria, making the enzyme a promising target for antibacterial agents. In a reaction catalyzed by an Fe2+ coordination complex in the enzyme active site, PDF cleaves a formyl group from the N-terminus of nascent eubacterial proteins |
