Propene Activation by the Oxo-Iron Active Species of Taurine/α-Ketoglutarate Dioxygenase (TauD) Enzyme. How Does the Catalysis Compare to Heme-Enzymes?

Density functional calculations on the oxygenation reaction of propene by a model for taurine/ α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD) enzyme are presented. The oxo-iron active species of TauD is shown to be a powerful and aggressive oxidant, which is able to hydroxylate CH bonds and epoxidize CC bonds...
