The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP101B1, from a Novosphingobium bacterium is able to bind and oxidise aromatic substrates but at a lower activity and efficiency than norisoprenoids and monoterpenoid esters. Histidine 85 of CYP101B1 aligns with tyrosine 96 of CYP101A1, which, in the latter enzyme forms the only hydrophilic interaction with its substrate, camphor. The histidine residue of CYP101B1 was mutated to phenylalanine with the aim of improving the activity of the enzyme for hydrophobic substrates. The H85F mutant lowered the binding affinity and activity of the enzyme for β-ionone and altered the oxidation selectivity. This variant also showed enhanced affinity and activity towards alkylbenzenes, styrenes and methylnaphthalenes. For example the rate of product formation for acenaphthene oxidation was improved sixfold to 245 nmol per nmol CYP per min. Certain disubstituted naphthalenes and substrates, such as phenylcyclohexane and biphenyls, were oxidised with lower activity by the H85F variant. Variants at H85 (A and G) designed to introduce additional space into the active site so as to accommodate these larger substrates did not improve the oxidation activity. As the H85F mutant of CYP101B1 improved the oxidation of hydrophobic substrates, this residue is likely to be in the substrate binding pocket or the access channel of the enzyme. The side chain of the histidine might interact with the carbonyl groups of the favoured norisoprenoid substrates of CYP101B1.

London dispersion constitutes one of the fundamental interaction forces between atoms and between molecules. While modern computational methods have been developed to describe the strength of dispersive interactions in the gas phase properly, the importance of inter-and intramolecular dispersion in solution remains yet to be fully understood because experimental data are still sparse in that regard. We herein report a detailed experimental and computational study of the contribution of London dispersion to the bond dissociation of proton-bound dimers, both in the gas phase and in dichloromethane solution, showing that attenuation of inter-and intramolecular dispersive interaction by solvent is large (about 70% in dichloromethane), but not complete, and that current state-of-The-Art implicit solvent models employed in quantum-mechanical computational studies treat London dispersion poorly, at least for this model system.
