Abstract
In constructing finite models of enzyme active sites for quantum-chemical calculations, atoms at the periphery of the model must be constrained to prevent unphysical rearrangements during geometry relaxation. A simple fixed-atom or "coordinate-lock" approach is commonly employed but leads to undesirable artifacts in the form of small imaginary frequencies. These preclude evaluation of finite-temperature free-energy corrections, limiting thermochemical calculations to enthalpies only. Full-dimensional vibrational frequency calculations are possible by replacing the fixed-atom constraints with harmonic confining potentials. Here, we compare that approach to an alternative strategy in which fixed-atom contributions to the Hessian are simply omitted. While the latter strategy does eliminate imaginary frequencies, it tends to underestimate both the zero-point energy and the vibrational entropy while introducing artificial rigidity. Harmonic confining potentials eliminate imaginary frequencies and provide a flexible means to construct active-site models that can be used in unconstrained geometry relaxations, affording better convergence of reaction energies and barrier heights with respect to the model size, as compared to models with fixed-atom constraints.

Abstract
Chorismate mutase (CM) enzymes have long served as model systems for benchmarking new methods and tools in computational chemistry. Despite the enzymes' prominence in the literature, the extent of the roles that activation enthalpy and entropy play in catalyzing the conversion of chorismate to prephenate is still subject to debate. Knowledge of these parameters is a key piece in fully understanding the mechanism of chorismate mutases. Within this study, we utilize EVB/MD free energy perturbation calculations at a range of temperatures, allowing us to extract activation enthalpies and entropies from an Arrhenius plot of activation free energies of the reaction catalyzed by a monofunctional Bacillus subtilis CM and the promiscuous enzyme isochorismate pyruvate lyase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction, our results show that both enzyme-catalyzed reactions exhibit a substantial reduction in activation enthalpy, while the effect on activation entropy is relatively minor, demonstrating that enzyme-catalyzed CM reactions are enthalpically driven. Furthermore, we observe that the monofunctional CM from B. subtilis more efficiently catalyzes this reaction than its promiscuous counterpart. This is supported by a structural analysis of the reaction pathway at the transition state, from which we identified key residues explaining the enthalpically driven nature of the reactions and also the difference in efficiencies between the two enzymes.

Abstract
ConspectusThe quantum chemical cluster approach has been used for modeling enzyme active sites and reaction mechanisms for more than two decades. In this methodology, a relatively small part of the enzyme around the active site is selected as a model, and quantum chemical methods, typically density functional theory, are used to calculate energies and other properties. The surrounding enzyme is modeled using implicit solvation and atom fixing techniques. Over the years, a large number of enzyme mechanisms have been solved using this method. The models have gradually become larger as a result of the faster computers, and new kinds of questions have been addressed. In this Account, we review how the cluster approach can be utilized in the field of biocatalysis. Examples from our recent work are chosen to illustrate various aspects of the methodology. The use of the cluster model to explore substrate binding is discussed first. It is emphasized that a comprehensive search is necessary in order to identify the lowest-energy binding mode(s). It is also argued that the best binding mode might not be the productive one, and the full reactions for a number of enzyme-substrate complexes have therefore to be considered to find the lowest-energy reaction pathway. Next, examples are given of how the cluster approach can help in the elucidation of detailed reaction mechanisms of biocatalytically interesting enzymes, and how this knowledge can be exploited to develop enzymes with new functions or to understand the reasons for lack of activity toward non-natural substrates. The enzymes discussed in this context are phenolic acid decarboxylase and metal-dependent decarboxylases from the amidohydrolase superfamily. Next, the application of the cluster approach in the investigation of enzymatic enantioselectivity is discussed. The reaction of strictosidine synthase is selected as a case study, where the cluster calculations could reproduce and rationalize the selectivities of both the natural and non-natural substrates. Finally, we discuss how the cluster approach can be used to guide the rational design of enzyme variants with improved activity and selectivity. Acyl transferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis serves as an instructive example here, for which the calculations could pinpoint the factors controlling the reaction specificity and enantioselectivity. The cases discussed in this Account highlight thus the value of the cluster approach as a tool in biocatalysis. It complements experiments and other computational techniques in this field and provides insights that can be used to understand existing enzymes and to develop new variants with tailored properties.

Abstract
It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules underlies enantioselective recognition as a fundamental phenomenon regulating life and human activities. Thus, noncovalent interactions represent the narrative thread of a fascinating story which goes across several disciplines of medical, chemical, physical, biological, and other natural sciences. This review has been conceived with the awareness that a modern attitude toward molecular chirality and its consequences needs to be founded on multidisciplinary approaches to disclose the molecular basis of essential enantioselective phenomena in the domain of chemical, physical, and life sciences. With the primary aim of discussing this topic in an integrated way, a comprehensive pool of rational and systematic multidisciplinary information is provided, which concerns the fundamentals of chirality, a description of noncovalent interactions, and their implications in enantioselective processes occurring in different contexts. A specific focus is devoted to enantioselection in chromatography and electromigration techniques because of their unique feature as "multistep" processes. A second motivation for writing this review is to make a clear statement about the state of the art, the tools we have at our disposal, and what is still missing to fully understand the mechanisms underlying enantioselective recognition.

Abstract
Molecular modelling applications in metalloenzyme design are still scarce due to a series of challenges. On top of that, the simulations of metal-mediated binding and the identification of catalytic competent geometries require both large conformational exploration and simulation of fine electronic properties. Here, we demonstrate how the incorporation of new tools in multiscale strategies, namely substrate diffusion exploration, allows taking a step further. As a showcase, the enantioselective profiles of the most outstanding variants of an artificial Rh2-based cyclopropanase (GSH, HFF and RFY) developed by Lewis and co-workers (Nat. Commun., 2015, 6, 7789 and Nat. Chem., 2018, 10, 318-324) have been rationalized. DFT calculations on the free-cofactor-mediated process identify the carbene insertion and the cyclopropanoid formation as crucial events, the latter being the enantiodetermining step, which displays up to 8 competitive orientations easily altered by the protein environment. The key intermediates of the reaction were docked into the protein scaffold showing that some mutated residues have direct interaction with the cofactor and/or the co-substrate. These interactions take the form of a direct coordination of Rh in GSH and HFF and a strong hydrophobic patch with the carbene moiety in RFY. Posterior molecular dynamics sustain that the cofactor induces global re-arrangements of the protein. Finally, massive exploration of substrate diffusion, based on the GPathFinder approach, defines this event as the origin of the enantioselectivity in GSH and RFY. For HFF, fine molecular dockings suggest that it is likely related to local interactions upon diffusion. This work shows how modelling of long-range mutations on the catalytic profiles of metalloenzymes may be unavoidable and software simulating substrate diffusion should be applied.

Abstract
Imine reductases (IREDs) are NADPH-dependent enzymes (NADPH=nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) that catalyze the reduction of imines to amines. They exhibit high enantioselectivity for a broad range of substrates, making them of interest for biocatalytic applications. In this work, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the reaction mechanism and the origins of enantioselectivity of IRED from Amycolatopsis orientalis. Two substrates are considered, namely 1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline and 2-propyl-piperideine. A model of the active site is built on the basis of the available crystal structure. For both substrates, different binding modes are first evaluated, followed by calculation of the hydride transfer transition states from each complex. We have also investigated the effect of mutations of certain important active site residues (Tyr179Ala and Asn241Ala) on the enantioselectivity. The calculated energies are consistent with the experimental observations and the analysis of transition states geometries provides insights into the origins of enantioselectivity of this enzyme.

Abstract
Decades of extensive research efforts by biochemists, organic chemists, and protein engineers have led to an understanding of the basic mechanisms of essentially all known types of enzymes, but in a formidable number of cases an essential aspect has been overlooked. The occurrence of short-lived chiral intermediates formed by symmetry-breaking of prochiral precursors in enzyme catalyzed reactions has been systematically neglected. We designate these elusive species as fleeting chiral intermediates and analyze such crucial questions as "Do such intermediates occur in homochiral form?" If so, what is the absolute configuration, and why did Nature choose that particular stereoisomeric form, even when the isolable final product may be achiral? Does the absolute configuration of a chiral product depend in any way on the absolute configuration of the fleeting chiral precursor? How does this affect the catalytic proficiency of the enzyme? If these issues continue to be unexplored, then an understanding of the mechanisms of many enzyme types remains incomplete. We have systematized the occurrence of these chiral intermediates according to their structures and enzyme types. This is followed by critical analyses of selected case studies and by final conclusions and perspectives. We hope that the fascinating concept of fleeting chiral intermediates will attract the attention of scientists, thereby opening an exciting new research field.

Abstract
Enzymes offering chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity enable the asymmetric synthesis of high-value chiral molecules. Unfortunately, the drawback that naturally occurring enzymes are often inefficient or have undesired selectivity toward non-native substrates hinders the broadening of biocatalytic applications. To match the demands of specific selectivity in asymmetric synthesis, biochemists have implemented various computer-aided strategies in understanding and engineering enzymatic selectivity, diversifying the available repository of artificial enzymes. Here, given that the entire asymmetric catalytic cycle, involving precise interactions within the active pocket and substrate transport in the enzyme channel, could affect the enzymatic efficiency and selectivity, we presented a comprehensive overview of the computer-aided workflow for enzymatic selectivity. This review includes a mechanistic understanding of enzymatic selectivity based on quantum mechanical calculations, rational design of enzymatic selectivity guided by enzyme-substrate interactions, and enzymatic selectivity regulation via enzyme channel engineering. Finally, we discussed the computational paradigm for designing enzyme selectivity in silico to facilitate the advancement of asymmetric biosynthesis.
