    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum chemistry; enzyme catalysis; iron enzymes; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The quantum chemical investigations presented in this thesis use hybrid density functional theory to shed light on the catalytic mechanisms of mononuclear non-heme iron oxygenases, accommodating a ferrous ion in their active sites. More specifically, the dioxygen activation process and the subsequent oxidative reactions in the following enzymes were studied: tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent hydroxylases, naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase and α-ketoglutarate-dependent enzymes.

  4. 4. Redox Reactions of NO and O2 in Iron Enzymes : A Density Functional Theory Study

    Författare :Mattias Blomberg; Per Siegbahn; Adrian Mulholland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme catalysis; redox reactions; cytochrome oxidase; nitric oxide reductase; hyponitrous acid anhydride; peroxynitrite; myoglobin; prostaglandin synthase; PGHS; NO; N2O; O2; CO; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the density functional B3LYP has been used to study reactions of NO and O2 in redox active enzymes.Reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important part in the bacterial energy conservation (denitrification). LÄS MER

  5. 5. Reaction Mechanisms of Metalloenzymes and Synthetic Model Complexes Activating Dioxygen : A Computational study

    Författare :Valentin Georgiev; Per E.M. Siegbahn; Sam de Visser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalysis; density functional theory; extradiol; intradiol; dioxygenases; oxygen; biomimetic complexes; heme; spin transition; adipic acid; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik; kvantkemi; Quantum Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum chemistry has nowadays become a powerful and efficient tool that can be successfully used for studies of biosystems. It is therefore possibleto model the enzyme active-site and the reactions undergoing into it, as well as obtaining quite accurate energetic profiles. LÄS MER
