Dioxygen Activation in Soluble Methane Monooxygenase
Open accessAbstract
The controlled oxidation of methane to methanol is a chemical transformation of great value, particularly in the pursuit of alternative fuels, but the reaction remains underutilized industrially because of inefficient and costly synthetic procedures. In contrast, methane monooxygenase enzymes (MMOs) from methanotrophic bacteria achieve this chemistry efficiently under ambient conditions. In this Account, we discuss the first observable step in the oxidation of methane at the carboxylate-bridged diiron active site of the soluble MMO (sMMO), namely, the reductive activation of atmospheric O(2). The results provide benchmarks against which the dioxygen activation mechanisms of other bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases can be measured. Molecular oxygen reacts rapidly with the reduced diiron(II) cen-ter of the hydroxylase component of sMMO (MMOH). The first spectroscopically characterized intermediate that results from this process is a peroxodiiron(III) species, P*, in which the iron atoms have identical environments. P* converts to a second peroxodiiron(III) unit, H(peroxo), in a process accompanied by the transfer of a proton, probably with the assistance of a residue near the active site. Proton-promoted O-O bond scission and rearrangement of the diiron core then leads to a diiron(IV) unit, termed Q, that is directly responsible for the oxidation of methane to methanol. In one section of this Account, we provide a detailed discussion of these processes, with particular emphasis on possible structures of the intermediates. The geometries of P* and H(peroxo) are currently unknown, and recent synthetic modeling chemistry has highlighted the need for further structural characterization of Q, currently assigned as a di(μ-oxo)diiron(IV) "diamond core." In another section of the Account, we discuss in detail proton transfer during the O(2) activation events. The role of protons in promoting O-O bond cleavage, thereby initiating the conversion of H(peroxo) to Q, was previously a controversial topic. Recent studies of the mechanism, covering a range of pH values and in D(2)O instead of H(2)O, confirmed conclusively that the transfer of protons, possibly at or near the active site, is necessary for both P*-to-H(peroxo) and H(peroxo)-to-Q conversions. Specific mechanistic insights into these processes are provided. In the final section of the Account, we present our view of experiments that need to be done to further define crucial aspects of sMMO chemistry. Here our goal is to detail the challenges that we and others face in this research, particularly with respect to some long-standing questions about the system, as well as approaches that might be used to solve them.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
