Protein design has received much attention in the last decades. With an additional disulfide bond to enhance the protein stability, human A15C neuroglobin (Ngb) is an ideal protein scaffold for heme enzyme design. In this study, we rationally converted A15C Ngb into a multifunctional peroxidase by replacing the heme axial His64 with an Asp residue, where Asp64 and the native Lys67 at the heme distal site were proposed to act as an acid-base catalytic couple for H2O2 activation. Kinetic studies showed that the catalytic efficiency of A15C/H64D Ngb was much higher (～50-80-fold) than that of native dehaloperoxidase, which even exceeds (～3-fold) that of the most efficient native horseradish peroxidase. Moreover, the dye-decolorizing peroxidase activity was also comparable to that of some native enzymes. Electron paramagnetic resonance, molecular docking, and isothermal titration calorimetry studies provided valuable information for the substrate-protein interactions. Therefore, this study presents the rational design of an efficient multifunctional peroxidase based on Ngb with potential applications such as in bioremediation for environmental sustainability.

The bromate-aniline oscillatory reaction was discovered 4 decades ago, but neither the detailed mechanism nor the key products or intermediates of the reaction were described. We report herein a detailed study of this reaction, which yielded new insights. We found that oscillatory oxidation of aniline by acidic bromate proceeds, to a significant extent, via a novel reaction pathway with the periodic release of carbon dioxide. Several products were isolated, and their structures, not described so far, were justified on the basis of MS and NMR. One of the main products of the reaction associated with the CO2 release route can be assigned to 2,2-dibromo-5-(phenylimino)cyclopent-3-en-1-one. A number of known compounds produced in the studied reaction, including unexpected brominated 1-phenylpyrroles and 1-phenylmaleimides, were identified by comparison with standards. A mechanism is suggested to explain the appearance of the detected compounds, based on coupling of the anilino radical with the produced 1,4-benzoquinone. We assume that the radical adduct reacts with bromine to form a cyclopropanone intermediate that undergoes a Favorskii-type rearrangement. Further oxidation and bromination steps including decarboxylation lead to the found brominated phenyliminocyclopentenones. The detected derivatives of 1-phenylpyrrole could be produced by a one-electron oxidation of a proposed intermediate 2-phenylamino-5-bromocyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-ol followed by β-scission with the abstraction of carbon monoxide. Such a mechanism is known from the combustion chemistry of cyclopentadiene. The proposed mechanism of this reaction provides a framework for understanding the observed oscillatory kinetics.

We describe the isolation, structure elucidation, and total synthesis of the novel marine natural product rifsaliniketal and the total synthesis of the structurally related variants salinisporamycin and saliniketals A and B. Rifsaliniketal was previously proposed, but not observed, as a diverted metabolite from a biosynthetic precursor to rifamycin S. Decarboxylation of rifamycin provides salinisporamycin, which upon truncation with loss of the naphthoquinone ring leads to saliniketals. Our synthetic strategy hinged upon a Pt(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of an alkynediol to set the dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system and a fragmentation of an intermediate dihydropyranone to forge a stereochemically defined (E,Z)-dienamide unit. Multiple routes were explored to assemble fragments with high stereocontrol, an exercise that provided additional insights into acyclic stereocontrol during stereochemically complex fragment-assembly processes. The resulting 11-14 step synthesis of saliniketals then enabled us to explore strategies for the synthesis and coupling of highly substituted naphthoquinones or the corresponding naphthalene fragments. Whereas direct coupling with naphthoquinone fragments proved unsuccessful, both amidation and C-N bond formation tactics with the more electron-rich naphthalene congeners provided an efficient means to complete the first total synthesis of rifsaliniketal and salinisporamycin.
