Coordinated conformational changes in P450 decarboxylases enable hydrocarbons production from renewable feedstocks by Wesley Cardoso Generoso, Alana Helen Santana Alvarenga, Isabelle Taira Simões, Renan Yuji Miyamoto, Ricardo Rodrigues de Melo, Ederson Paulo Xavier Guilherme, Fernanda Mandelli, Clelton Aparecido Santos, Rafaela Prata, Camila Ramos dos Santos, Felippe Mariano Colombari, Mariana Abrahão Bueno Morais, Rodrigo Pimentel Fernandes, Gabriela Felix Persinoti, Mario Tyago Murakami, Leticia Maria Zanphorlin

“…Combining X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning, we have identified intricate molecular rearrangements within the active site that enable the Cβ atom of the substrate to approach the heme iron, thereby promoting oleate decarboxylation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the absence of the aromatic residue in the Phe-His-Arg triad preserves chemoselectivity for alkenes, providing a distinct perspective on the molecular determinants of decarboxylation activity. …”
