Density functional calculations were performed in response to the controversies regarding the identity of the oxidant species in cytochrome P450. The calculations were used to gauge the relative C-H hydroxylation reactivity of three potential oxidant species of the enzyme; the high-valent oxo-iron species Compound I (Cpd I); the ferric hydroperoxide Compound O (Cpd O); and the ferric-hydrogen peroxide complex Fe(H2O2). The results for the hydroxylation of a radical probe substrate; 1; show the following trends: (a) Cpd I is the most reactive species; in its presence the other two reagents will be silent; (b) In the absence of Cpd I; substrate oxidation by Cpd O and Fe(H2O2) will take place via a stepwise mechanism that involves initial O-O homolysis followed by H-abstraction from 1. (c) Cpd O will undergo mostly porphyrin hydroxylation and only ∼15% of substrate oxidation producing mostly the rearranged alcohol; 3 (Scheme 2). (d) Fe(H 2O2) will generate mostly free hydrogen peroxide (uncoupling). A small fraction will perform substrate oxidation and lead mostly to 3. Reactivity probes for these reagents are kinetic isotope effect (KIE) and the product ratio of unrearranged to rearranged alcohols; 2/3; Thus; for substrate oxidation by Cpd O or Fe(H2O2) KIE will be small; ∼2; while Cpd I will have large KIE values. Typically both Cpd O and Fe(H2O2) will lead to a [2/3] ratio 1. In addition; the product isotope effect (KIE 2/KIE3 ≠ 1) is expected from the reactivity of Cpd I. © 2006 American Chemical Society;
