Studies on DMSOR. A Theoretical Approach Elizabeth Hernandez-Marin October 2, 2009
Introduction Molybdoenzymes. Generalities Molybdenum is the only 4d transition metal required for all forms of life. Generally found as mononuclear active centers. The metal ion is coordinated by a modified pyranopterin cofactor: Functionally, they catalyze a net oxygen atom transfer: X + H 2 O = XO + 2H + + 2e - P. Basu, J. F. Stolz, M. T. Smith, Current Science, (2003)
Introduction Molybdoenzymes. Generalities Can be classified into 3 families represented by xanthine oxidase (XO), sulfite oxidase (SO) and DMSO reductase (DMSOR) P. Basu, J. F. Stolz, M. T. Smith, Current Science, (2003) XO : RCHO → RCOOH SO: SO 3 2- → SO 4 2 DMSOR: (H 3 C) 2 SO → (H 3 C) 2 S

Contributions to C-terms
Final Remarks Based on complexes taken from the active site of the molybdoenzyme DMSOR it was possible to: Outline a plausible energy profile for the oxidation of DMSO to DMS by the enzyme. Explain the physical origin of the EPR parameters of the enzymatic Mo[V] species, due to the good agreement between the calculated and experimental parameters. Obtained a detailed account of the contributions that made up the MCD spectrum of the Mo[V]-DMSOR in terms of C- parameters.
