Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
Conclusions: Mandelate Racemase The concerted mechanism is the most favourable No anionic stable intermediate exists, but a TS MR catalyzes the reaction in both directions(S  R, R  S) at “similar” rate, being chemically symmetric Some residues are important to stabilize unstable structures Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
Conclusions: Methodology The location of saddle points is a valuable task to design an appropriate reaction coordinate The difference between the MEP and Free Energy Path: The energy barrier can be very different (this is not the case) The geometry is conceptually different ...But some characteristics of the reaction remain! Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
too restricted methods: QM(1 valley)/MM Conclusions: Methodology Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
Conclusions: Methodology The reaction coordinate must include all the relevant degrees of freedom. They are localized in few bonds and angles but may not be trivial even in some proton transfer reactions. It should be a compromise: reduced number of dof  to avoid coordinates that donot belong to the path,  and general enough to account all the possible reactive conformations too restricted methods: Cartesian coordinates Rc Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc

  • 45. Conclusions: Mandelate Racemase The concerted mechanism is the most favourable No anionic stable intermediate exists, but a TS MR catalyzes the reaction in both directions(S  R, R  S) at “similar” rate, being chemically symmetric Some residues are important to stabilize unstable structures Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
  • 46. Conclusions: Methodology The location of saddle points is a valuable task to design an appropriate reaction coordinate The difference between the MEP and Free Energy Path: The energy barrier can be very different (this is not the case) The geometry is conceptually different ...But some characteristics of the reaction remain!

  • 48. Conclusions: Methodology The reaction coordinate must include all the relevant degrees of freedom. They are localized in few bonds and angles but may not be trivial even in some proton transfer reactions. It should be a compromise: reduced number of dof to avoid coordinates that donot belong to the path, and general enough to account all the possible reactive conformations too restricted methods: Cartesian coordinates Rc Mandelate Racemase Optimization of TS PMF: mechanism PMF: Rc
