Machine-learning prediction of protein function from the portrait of its intramolecular electric field

S Vargas, SS Chaturvedi… - Journal of the American …, 2024 - ACS Publications
We introduce a machine learning framework designed to predict enzyme functionality
directly from the heterogeneous electric fields inherent to protein active sites. We apply this …

Local Electric Fields Drives the Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer within Cytochrome P450 Reductase

N Li, S Yan, P Wu, J Li, B Wang - ACS Catalysis, 2024 - ACS Publications
Cytochrome P450 enzymes play a pivotal role in biosynthetic and metabolic transformations.
Especially, cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) acts as the key electron donor for the oxygen …

Designed CYP450 Scaffold That Possesses a Local Electric Field Biodegrades Polyethylene Terephthalate

SA Siddiqui, S Shaik, KD Dubey - ACS Catalysis, 2024 - ACS Publications
In enzymes, protein residues themselves carry charges and produce a preorganized local
electric field (LEF). Such LEFs can be modified by strategically mutating the charged and …

How Do Variants of Residues in the First Coordination Sphere, Second Coordination Sphere, and Remote Areas Influence the Catalytic Mechanism of Non-Heme Fe …

MG Thomas, SB Jaber Sathik Rifayee… - ACS catalysis, 2024 - ACS Publications
The ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE) is a Fe (II)/2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and l-arginine (l-Arg)-
dependent oxygenase that primarily decomposes 2OG into ethylene while also catalyzing l …

The Effect of Electric Field on the Frontier Orbitals of Organic Small Molecules: DFT Studies of Triphenylamine Derivatives

B Parks, L Wang - 2024 - chemrxiv.org
The effect of strong electric fields on four triphenylamine derivatives was investigated. Using
the optimized structures performed via B3LYP/6-31+ G (d, p) level of theory in vacuo, single …
