Abstract
Beyond the well-explored proposition of protein aggregation or amyloidosis as the central event in amyloidogenic diseases like Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2Dm); there are alternative hypotheses, now becoming increasingly evident, which suggest that the small biomolecules like redox noninnocent metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, etc.) and cofactors (Heme) have a definite influence in the onset and extent of such degenerative maladies. Dyshomeostasis of these components remains as one of the common features in both AD and T2Dm etiology. Recent advances in this course reveal that the metal/cofactor-peptide interactions and covalent binding can alarmingly enhance and modify the toxic reactivities, oxidize vital biomolecules, significantly contribute to the oxidative stress leading to cell apoptosis, and may precede the amyloid fibrils formation by altering their native folds. This perspective highlights this aspect of amyloidogenic pathology which revolves around the impact of the metals and cofactors in the pathogenic courses of AD and T2Dm including the active site environments, altered reactivities, and the probable mechanisms involving some highly reactive intermediates as well. It also discusses some in vitro metal chelation or heme sequestration strategies which might serve as a possible remedy. These findings might open up a new paradigm in our conventional understanding of amyloidogenic diseases. Moreover, the interaction of the active sites with small molecules elucidates potential biochemical reactivities that can inspire designing of drug candidates for such pathologies.

Abstract
Fluorochemicals are a widely distributed class of compounds and have been utilized across a wide range of industries for decades. Given the environmental toxicity and adverse health threats of some fluorochemicals, the development of new methods for their decomposition is significant to public health. However, the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is among the most chemically robust bonds; consequently, the degradation of fluorinated hydrocarbons is exceptionally difficult. Here, metalloenzymes that catalyze the cleavage of this chemically challenging bond are reviewed. These enzymes include histidine-ligated heme-dependent dehaloperoxidase and tyrosine hydroxylase, thiolate-ligated heme-dependent cytochrome P450, and four nonheme oxygenases, namely, tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase, Rieske dioxygenase, and thiol dioxygenase. While much of the literature regarding the aforementioned enzymes highlights their ability to catalyze C-H bond activation and functionalization, in many cases, the C-F bond cleavage has been shown to occur on fluorinated substrates. A copper-dependent laccase-mediated system representing an unnatural radical defluorination approach is also described. Detailed discussions on the structure-function relationships and catalytic mechanisms provide insights into biocatalytic defluorination, which may inspire drug design considerations and environmental remediation of halogenated contaminants.

Abstract
Proteolysis of Amyloid Precursor Protein, APP, results in the formation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, which have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently the failure of therapeutic agents that prohibit Aβ aggregation and sequester Cu/Zn in providing symptomatic relief to AD patients has questioned the amyloid and metal ion hypothesis. Alternatively, abnormal heme homeostasis and reduced levels of neurotransmitters in the brain are hallmark features of AD. Heme can bind Aβ peptides forming a peroxidase type active site which can oxidatively degrade neurotransmitters like serotonin. To date the reactive species responsible for this activity has not been identified. Using rapid kinetics and freeze quenching, we show that heme bound Aβ forms a highly reactive intermediate, compound I. Thus, compound I provides a basis for elucidating the oxidative degradation of neurotransmitters like serotonin, resulting in abnormal neurotransmission, a key pathological feature of AD. Site directed mutants indicate that the Arg5 and Tyr10 residues, unique to human Aβ, affect the rates of formation and decay of compound I providing insight into their roles in the oxidative degradation of neurotransmitters. Tyr10 can potentially play a natural protective role against the highly reactive oxidant, compound I, in AD.

Abstract
To further investigate the properties of phosphines as structural and functional probes of heme proteins, mono- and bis-phosphine [tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine, THMP] adducts of H93G myoglobin (Mb) have been prepared by stepwise THMP titrations of exogenous ligand-free ferric and ferrous H93G Mb, respectively. Bubbling with CO or stepwise titration with imidazole (Im) of the bis-THMP-ligated ferrous protein generated a mixed ligand (THMP/CO or THMP/Im, respectively) ferrous complexes. Stable oxyferrous H93G(THMP) Mb was formed at -40°C by bubbling the mono-THMP-Fe(II) protein with O2. A THMP-ligated ferryl H93G Mb moiety has been partially formed upon addition of H2O2 to the ferric mono-THMP adduct. All the species prepared above have been characterized with UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy in this study. The six-coordinate ferrous bis-phosphine and mono-phosphine/CO complexes of H93G Mb exhibit characteristic spectral features (red-shifted Soret/unique-shaped MCD visible bands and hyperporphyrin spectra, respectively) that only have been seen for the analogous phosphine or CO-complexes of thiolate-ligated heme proteins such as cytochrome P450 (P450) and Caldariomyces fumago chloroperoxidase (CPO). However, such resemblance is not seen in phosphine-ligated ferric H93G Mb even though phosphine-bound ferric P450 and CPO display hyperporphyrin spectra. In fact, bis-THMP-bound ferric H93G Mb exhibits MCD and UV-vis absorption spectra that are similar to those of bis-amine- and bis-thioether-ligated H93G Mb complexes. This study also further demonstrates the utility of the H93G cavity mutant for preparing novel heme iron coordination structures.

Abstract
The composition of ferric exogenous ligand-free His93Gly sperm whale myoglobin (H93G Mb) at neutral pH has been determined by examination of the spectral properties of the protein over the pH range from 3.0 to 10.5. An apparent pKa value of ~6.6 has been observed for the conversion of a postulated six-coordinate bis-water-bound coordination structure at pH 5.0 to a five-coordinate hydroxide-bound form at pH 10.5. Starting from the exogenous ligand-free ferric H93G protein, ferric mono- and bis-thioether (tetrahydrothiophene, THT)-ligated adducts have been prepared and characterized by UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. The mon-THT ferric H93G Mb species has hydroxide as the sixth ligand. The bis-THT derivative is a model for the low-spin ferric heme binding site of native bis-Met-ligated bacterioferritin or streptococcal heme-associated protein (Shp). A novel THT-bound ferryl H93G Mb moiety has been partially formed. The high-spin five-coordinate ferric H93G(selenolate) Mb complex has been prepared using benzeneselenol and characterized by UV-vis and MCD spectroscopy as a model for Se-Cys-ligated ferric cytochrome P450. The results described herein further demonstrate the versatility of the H93G cavity mutant for modeling the coordination structures of novel heme iron protein active sites.

Abstract
Two questions important to the success in metalloenzyme design are how to attach or anchor metal cofactors inside protein scaffolds, and in what way such positioning affects enzymatic properties. We have previously reported a dual anchoring method to position a nonnative cofactor, MnSalen (1), inside the heme cavity of apo sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) and showed that the dual anchoring can increase both the activity and enantioselectivity over the single anchoring methods, making this artificial enzyme an ideal system to address the above questions. Here we report systematic investigations of the effect of different covalent attachment or anchoring positions on reactivity and selectivity of sulfoxidation by the MnSalen-containing Mb enzymes. We have found that changing the left anchor from Y103C to T39C has an almost identical effect of increasing rate by 1.8-fold and increasing selectivity by +14% for S, whether the right anchor is L72C or S108C. At the same time, regardless of the identity of the left anchor, changing the right anchor from S108C to L72C increases rate by 4-fold and selectivity by +66%. The right anchor site was observed to have a greater influence than the left anchor site on the reactivity and selectivity in sulfoxidation of a wide scope of other ortho-, meta- and para- substituted substrates. The 1•Mb(T39C/L72C) showed the highest reactivity (TON up to 2.31 min(-1)) and selectivity (ee% up to 83%) among the different anchoring positions examined. Molecular dynamic simulations indicate that these changes in reactivity and selectivity may be due to the steric effects of the linker arms inside the protein cavity. These results indicate that small differences in the anchor positions can result in significant changes in reactivity and enantioselectivity, probably through steric interactions with substrates when they enter the substrate-binding pocket, and that the effects of right and left anchor positions are independent and additive in nature. The finding that the anchoring arms can influence both the positioning of the cofactor and steric control of substrate entrance will help design better functional metalloenzymes with predicted catalytic activity and selectivity.

Abstract
The enzymatic globin, dehaloperoxidase (DHP), from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata is designed to catalyze the oxidative dehalogenation of halophenol substrates. In this study, the ability of DHP to catalyze this reaction by a mechanism involving two consecutive one-electron steps via the normal order of addition of the oxidant cosubstrate (H(2)O(2)) before organic substrate [2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP)] is demonstrated. Specifically, 1 equiv of H(2)O(2) will fully convert 1 equiv of TCP to 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, implicating the role of multiple ferryl [Fe(IV)O] species. A significant amount of heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond of cumene hydroperoxide, consistent with transient formation of a Compound I [Fe(IV)O/porphyrin pi-cation radical] species, is observed upon its reaction with ferric DHP. In addition, a more stable high-valent Fe(IV)O-containing DHP intermediate [Compound II (Cpd II) or Compound ES] is characterized by UV-visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Spectral similarities are seen between this intermediate and horse heart myoglobin Cpd II. It is also shown in single-turnover experiments that the DHP Fe(IV)O intermediate is an active oxidant in halophenol oxidative dehalogenation. Furthermore, reaction of DHP with 4-chlorophenol leads to a dimeric product. The results presented herein are consistent with a normal peroxidase order of addition of the oxidant cosubstrate (H(2)O(2)) followed by organic substrate (TCP) and indicate that the enzymatic mechanism of DHP-catalyzed oxidative halophenol dehalogenation involves two consecutive one-electron steps with a dissociable radical intermediate.

Abstract
An extremely simple biomimetic oxidation system, consisting of mixing metal complexes of amphiphilic corroles with serum albumins, utilizes hydrogen peroxide for asymmetric sulfoxidation in up to 74% ee. The albumin-conjugated manganese corroles also display catalase-like activity, and mechanistic evidence points toward oxidant-coordinated manganese(III) as the prime reaction intermediate.

Abstract
This study addresses the viability of sol-gel encapsulated HRP (HRP:sol-gel) as a recyclable solid-state catalytic material. Ferric, ferric-CN, ferrous, and ferrous-CO forms of HRP:sol-gel were investigated by resonance Raman and UV-visible methods. Electronic and vibrational spectroscopic changes associated with changes in spin state, oxidation state, and ligation of the heme in HRP:sol-gel were shown to correlate with those of HRP in solution, showing that the heme remains a viable ligand-binding complex. Furthermore, the high-valent HRP:sol-gel intermediates, compound I and compound II, were generated and identified by time-resolved UV-visible spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of the HRP:sol-gel material was demonstrated by enzymatic assays by using I(-), guaiacol, and ABTS as substrates. Encapsulated HRP was shown to be homogeneously distributed throughout the sol-gel host. Differences in turnover rates between guaiacol and I(-) implicate mass transport of substrate through the silicate matrix as a defining parameter in the peroxidase activity of HRP:sol-gel. HRP:sol-gel was reused as a peroxidation catalyst for multiple reaction cycles without loss of activity, indicating that such materials show promise as reusable catalytic materials.
