Abstract
Experimental observations suggest that electronic characteristics play a role in the rates of substrate oxidation for cytochrome P450 enzymes. For example, the tendency for oxidation of a certain functional group generally follows the relative stability of the radicals that are formed (e.g., N-dealkylation > O-dealkylation > 2 degrees carbon oxidation > 1 degree carbon oxidation). In addition, results show that useful correlations between the rates of product formation can be developed using electronic models. In this article, we attempt to determine whether a combined computational model for aromatic and aliphatic hydroxylation can be developed. Toward this goal, we used a combination of experimental data and semiempirical molecular orbital calculations to predicted activation energies for aromatic and aliphatic hydroxylation. The resulting model extends the predictive capacity of our previous aliphatic hydroxylation model to include the second most important group of oxidations, aromatic hydroxylation. The combined model can account for about 83% of the variance in the data for the 20 compounds in the training set and has an error of about 0.7 kcal/mol.
