Abstract

The communication presents DFT calculations of 10 different C-H hydroxylation barriers by the active species of the enzyme cytochrome P450. The work demonstrates the existence of an excellent barrier-bond energy correlation. The so-obtained equation of the straight line is demonstrated to be useful for predicting barriers of related C-H activation processes, as well as for assessing barrier heights within the protein environment. This facility is demonstrated be estimating the barrier of camphor hydroxylation by P450cam.
