Substrates and Loaded Iron Ions Relative Position Influence the Catalytic Characteristics of the Metalloenzymes Angelica archangelica Flavone Synthase I and Camellia sinensis Flavonol Synthase.

ABSTRACT: Metalloenzymes are a class of enzymes that catalyze through the metal ions they load. Angelica archangelica flavone synthase I (AnFNS I) and Camellia sinensis flavonol synthase (CaFLS), both of which belong to metalloenzymes, have highly similar structures and metal catalytic cores. However, these two enzymes catalyze the same substrate to produce significantly different products. To identify the cause for the differences in the catalytic characteristics of AnFNS I and CaFLS, their protein models were constructed using homology modeling. Structural alignment and molecular docking was also used to elucidate the molecular basis of the differences observed. To analyze and verify the cause for the differences in the catalytic characteristics of AnFNS I and CaFLS, partial fragment
