Abstract
Aromatic C-H oxygenation is important in both industrial production and organic synthesis. Here we report a metal-free approach for phenol oxygenation with water as the oxygen source using oxoammonium salts as the renewable oxidant. Employing this protocol, various alkyl-substituted phenols were converted into benzoquinones in yields of 59-98%. On the basis of 18O-labeling and kinetic studies, the hydroxy-oxoammonium adduct was proposed to attack the aromatic ring similarly to electrophilic aromatic substitution. We suppose that the findings described here not only provide an efficient and highly selective protocol for aromatic C-H oxygenation but also may encourage further developments of possible transition-metal-free catalytic methods.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a ubiquitous coupled binuclear copper enzyme that activates O2 toward the regioselective monooxygenation of monophenols to catechols via a mechanism that remains only partially defined. Here, we present new mechanistic insights into the initial steps of this monooxygenation reaction by employing a pre-steady-state, stopped-flow kinetics approach that allows for the direct measurement of the monooxygenation rates for a series of para-substituted monophenols by oxy-tyrosinase. The obtained biphasic Hammett plot and the associated solvent kinetic isotope effect values provide direct evidence for an initial H-transfer from the protonated phenolic substrate to the Cu2O2 core of oxy-tyrosinase. The correlation of these experimental results to quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations provides a detailed mechanistic description of this H-transfer step. These new mechanistic insights revise and expand our fundamental understanding of Cu2O2 active sites in biology.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is pivotal for melanin formation. Measuring monophenolase activity is of great importance for both fundamental research and industrial applications. For the first time, a backpropagation (BP) artificial neural network with three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy was applied for the real-time determination of tyrosinase monophenolase activity. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized for the dimension reduction of three-dimensional fluorescence data. The four principal components served as inputs for the neural network. Network parameters were optimized using a genetic algorithm (GA). BP learning algorithm was applied to train the network model to determine tyrosine levels in a binary mixture containing tyrosine and L-DOPA without any chemical separation. The time course of tyrosine consumption by monophenolase was determined to calculate the initial velocity of the enzymatic reaction. The limit of detection of the monophenolase assay was 0.0615 U·mL-1. This combined strategy of PCA, GAs, and BP artificial neural networks for three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy was efficient for the real-time and in-situ determination of monophenolase activity in a cascade reaction.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the most predominant member of the coupled binuclear copper (CBC) protein family. The recent trapping and spectroscopic definition of the elusive catalytic ternary intermediate (enzyme/O2 /monophenol) of tyrosinase dictates a monooxygenation mechanism that revises previous proposals and involves cleavage of the μ-η2 :η2 -peroxide dicopper(II) O-O bond to accept the phenolic proton, followed by monophenolate coordination to copper concomitant with aromatic hydroxylation by the non-protonated μ-oxo. Here, we compare and contrast previously proposed and current mechanistic models for monophenol monooxygenation of tyrosinase. Next, we discuss how these recent insights provide new opportunities towards uncovering structure-function relationships in CBC enzymes, as well as understanding fundamental principles for O2 activation and reactivity by bioinorganic active sites.

Abstract
Melanins are highly conjugated biopolymer pigments that provide photoprotection in a wide array of organisms, from bacteria to humans. The rate-limiting step in melanin biosynthesis, which is the ortho-hydroxylation of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-DOPA, is catalyzed by the ubiquitous enzyme tyrosinase (Ty). Ty contains a coupled binuclear copper active site that binds O2 to form a μ:η2:η2-peroxide dicopper(II) intermediate (oxy-Ty), capable of performing the regioselective monooxygenation of para-substituted monophenols to catechols. The mechanism of this critical monooxygenation reaction remains poorly understood despite extensive efforts. In this study, we have employed a combination of spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational methods to trap and characterize the elusive catalytic ternary intermediate (Ty/O2/monophenol) under single-turnover conditions and obtain molecular-level mechanistic insights into its monooxygenation reactivity. Our experimental results, coupled with quantum-mechanics/molecular-mechanics calculations, reveal that the monophenol substrate docks in the active-site pocket of oxy-Ty fully protonated, without coordination to a copper or cleavage of the μ:η2:η2-peroxide O-O bond. Formation of this ternary intermediate involves the displacement of active-site water molecules by the substrate and replacement of their H bonds to the μ:η2:η2-peroxide by a single H bond from the substrate hydroxyl group. This H-bonding interaction in the ternary intermediate enables the unprecedented monooxygenation mechanism, where the μ-η2:η2-peroxide O-O bond is cleaved to accept the phenolic proton, followed by substrate phenolate coordination to a copper site concomitant with its aromatic ortho-hydroxylation by the nonprotonated μ-oxo. This study provides insights into O2 activation and reactivity by coupled binuclear copper active sites with fundamental implications in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Exogenous phenolate ortho-hydroxylation by copper oxidants formed from dioxygen is generally thought to occur through one of two limiting mechanisms defined by the structure of the active oxidant: an electrophilic μ-η2:η2-peroxo-bis-copper(II) species as found in the oxygenated form of the binuclear copper enzyme tyrosinase (oxyTyr), or an isomeric bis(μ-oxido)-bis-copper(III) species (O) with ligated phenolate(s) as evidenced by most synthetic systems. The characterization of the latter is limited due to their limited thermal stability. This study expands the scope of an O species with ligated phenolate(s) using N,N'-di-tert-butyl-1,3-propanediamine (DBPD), a flexible secondary diamine ligand. Oxygenation of the [(DBPD)Cu(I)]1+ complex at low temperatures (e.g., 153 K) forms a spectroscopically and structurally faithful model to oxyTyr, a side-on peroxide intermediate, which reacts with added phenolates to form a bis(μ-oxido)-bis-copper(III) species with ligated phenolates, designated as an A species. The proposed stoichiometry of A is best understood as possessing 2 rather than 1 bonded phenolate. Thermal decomposition of A results in regiospecific phenolate ortho-hydroxylation with the ortho-substituent as either a C-H or C-X (Cl, Br) group, though the halogen displacement is significantly slower. DFT and experimental studies support an electrophilic attack of an oxide ligand into the π-system of a ligated phenolate. This study supports a hydroxylation mechanism in which O-O bond cleavage of the initially formed peroxide by phenolate ligation, which precedes phenolate aromatic hydroxylation.

Abstract
A real-time assay for multiple enzyme activities in cascade reactions is required for research on metabolism and bioengineering. Tyrosinase has the bifunctional activity of monophenolase and diphenolase. A combined strategy of three-way calibration with excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence was developed for real-time and simultaneous determination of monophenolase and diphenolase activity with tyrosine as a substrate. Mathematical separation and second-order advantage were utilized to solve spectral overlapping and uncalibrated interferents during complex dynamic enzymatic processes. Kinetic evolution profiles of EEM were monitored to stack a fusion three-way data array together with static samples. Using a parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) algorithm, pseudo-univariate calibration curves with limits of detection (LODs) of 3.00 μM and 0.85 μM were established to simultaneously and real-time measure tyrosine and DOPA. Progress curves for tyrosine consumption by monophenolase and DOPA consumption by diphenolase were obtained using the law of mass conservation to calculate the initial velocity. The LODs for monophenolase and diphenolase were 0.0232 U⋅mL-1 and 0.0316 U⋅mL-1. The method achieved real-time and simultaneous assays of multiple enzyme activities in cascade reactions. It showed potential application in the metabolic pathway and biochemical industry.

Abstract
Tyrosinase plays an essential role in melanin biosynthesis and inherently exhibits both monophenolase and diphenolase activity. A first derivative synchronous fluorometric assay was established for directly monitoring monophenolase activity. The zero-crossing point at 322 nm for the first-derivative under synchronous fluorescence with Δλ = 67 nm was utilized to selectively quantify tyrosine in the presence of the reaction product dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). The limit of detection (LOD) for tyrosine was 0.54 μM. The fluorescence intensity of tyrosine was monitored at intervals of 30 s to establish the time course of tyrosine consumption. The LOD for the monophenolase activity was 0.0706 U⋅ mL-1. The Michaelis-Menten e constant and maximum speed were 21.83 μM and 1.12 μM min-1, respectively. Zinc ions competitively inhibited the monophenolase activity, with an IC50 value of 14.36 μM. This assay is easily and rapidly executed and is of great significance for analyzing the kinetics of enzymatic reactions and in fundamental research on monophenolase. This approach has potential applications in the discovery of tyrosinase inhibitors for medicine and cosmetics, as well as in the industrial synthesis of substituted o-diphenol intermediates.

Considerations about the Continuous Assay Methods, Spectrophotometric and Spectrofluorometric, of the Monophenolase Activity of Tyrosinase. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11091269.

Abstract
With the purpose to obtain the more useful tyrosinase assay for the monophenolase activity of tyrosinase between the spectrofluorometric and spectrophotometric continuous assays, simulated assays were made by means of numerical integration of the equations that characterize the mechanism of monophenolase activity. These assays showed that the rate of disappearance of monophenol (VssM,M) is equal to the rate of accumulation of dopachrome (VssM,DC) or to the rate of accumulation of its oxidized adduct, originated by the nucleophilic attack on o-quinone by a nucleophile such as 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone (MBTH), (VssM, A−ox), despite the existence of coupled reactions. It is shown that the spectrophotometric methods that use MBTH are more useful, as they do not have the restrictions of the L-tyrosine disappearance measurement method, of working at pH = 8 and not having a linear response from 100 μM of L-tyrosine. It is possible to obtain low LODM (limit of detection of the monophenolase activity) values with spectrophotometric methods. The spectrofluorimetric methods had a lower LODM than spectrophotometric methods. In the case of 4-hydroxyphenil-propionic acid, the LODM obtained by us was 0.25 U/mL. Considering the relative sensitivities of 4-hydroxyanisole, compared with 4-hydroxyphenil-propionic acid, LODM values like those obtained by fluorescent methods would be expected.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme for melanogenesis with both monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity, which catalyzes the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-DOPA and the further oxidation of DOPA, respectively. A continuous assay method was developed to directly monitor the real monophenolase activity using synchronous fluorescence. Complexation with borate to quench the native fluorescence of DOPA could selectively quantified the tyrosine in the binary mixture of tyrosine and DOPA under the wavelength difference Δλ = 67 nm for synchronous fluorescence. The limit of detection (LOD) for tyrosine were estimated to be 0.49 μM. Borate was used as a trapping agent for DOPA to abolish diphenolase activity, while hydroxylamine was used as a reducing agent to restore the catalytic cycle. The time course for consumption of tyrosine was established by monitoring the tyrosine fluorescence intensity at discrete intervals of 30 s. Calibration curve between monophenolase activity and tyrosinase concentration with range from 0.1830 U·mL-1 to 1.7034 U·mL-1, and LOD of 0.0721 U·mL-1. Using the proposed method, the Km and υmax for monophenolase was determined with values of 20.73 μM and 1.10 μM·min-1, respectively. Zinc ion was demonstrated to inhibit the monophenolase activity by competitive inhibition manner with IC50 of 14.36 μM. The assay method displayed a powerful application in kinetics and inhibitor screening for monophenolase.

Abstract
Tyrosinase enzymes (Tys) are involved in the key steps of melanin (protective pigments) biosynthesis and molecules targeting the binuclear copper active site on tyrosinases represent a relevant strategy to regulate enzyme activities. In this work, the possible synergic effect generated by a combination of known inhibitors is studied. For this, derivatives containing kojic acid (KA) and 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide (HOPNO) combined with a thiosemicarbazone (TSC) moiety were synthetized. Their inhibition activities were evaluated on purified tyrosinases from different sources (mushroom, bacterial, and human) as well as on melanin production by lysates from the human melanoma MNT-1 cell line. Results showed significant enhancement of the inhibitory effects compared with the parent compounds, in particular for HOPNO-TSC. To elucidate the interaction mode with the dicopper(II) active site, binding studies with a tyrosinase bio-inspired model of the dicopper(II) center were investigated. The structure of the isolated adduct between one ditopic inhibitor (KA-TSC) and the model complex reveals that the binding to a dicopper center can occur with both chelating sites. Computational studies on model complexes and docking studies on enzymes led to the identification of KA and HOPNO moieties as interacting groups with the dicopper active site.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme for the metabolism of tyrosine and inherently comprises both monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity. A real-time fluorometric assay method was established to exclusively monitor the monophenolase activity by eliminating interference from diphenolase reactions through a combination of borate and hydroxylamine. Synthetic matrices comprised of tyrosine and DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) preincubated with tyrosinase with the consistent sum concentration of 70 μM to mimic the monophenolase reaction mixture in borate buffer according to law of mass conservation. A matrix-matched calibration curve for determination of tyrosine was established using the synthetic matrices as standard sample to eliminate spectral interference from DOPA. The limit of detection (LOD) for tyrosine was 0.61 μM. The time course for consumption of tyrosine was established to measure the initial velocity through real-time reading out the tyrosine fluorescence intensity of the reaction mixture in a cuvette in situ. The assay worked in the monophenolase activity range from 0.2839 to 1.7308 U mL-1 with LOD of 0.0851 U mL-1. The proposal sensing system successfully afforded a prospective potential for application in enzyme kinetics and screening of inhibitor. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring of pollutants is essential to guarantee the human health and maintain the ecosystem. The exploration of both simple and sensitive detection method has aroused widespread attentions. Herein, 2D bimetallic metal organic framework nanosheets (NiZn-MOF NSs) with tunable Ni/Zn ratios were synthesized, and for the first time employed to construct a tyrosinase biosensor. It is revealed that Zn element not only tuned the porosity structure and electronic structure of MOF NSs, but also modified their electrochemical activity. As a result, enzyme immobilization and electrochemical sensing performance of the NiZn-MOF NSs based biosensor were significantly enhanced by a suitable Zn addition. The fabricated tyrosinase biosensor exhibited excellent analytical detections, with a wide linear range from 0.08 μM to 58.2 μM, a high sensitivity of 159.3 mA M-1, and an ultralow detection limit of 6.5 nM. In addition, the proposed biosensing approach also demonstrated good repeatability, superior selectivity, long-term stability, and high recovery for phenol detection in the real tap water samples.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis and inherently involves both monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity. A continuous fluorometric assay method was developed for the first time to directly monitor the real monophenolase activity without the interference of diphenolase reactions through exclusively quenching the native fluorescence of DOPA by borate. Complexation with borate at pH 8.0 allowed for selective quantitation of tyrosine in a binary mixture of tyrosine and DOPA at 335 nm. The time course for consumption of tyrosine was established to measure the initial velocity by recording the tyrosine fluorescence intensity at discrete intervals. The assay worked in the monophenolase activity range from 0.13 to 2.01 U mL-1 with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.10 U mL-1. The assay method exhibited a promising prospect in application in kinetics of monophenolase and high throughput screening for monophenolase inhibitors.

Tyrosinase-immobilized CNT based biosensor for highly-sensitive detection of phenolic compounds. Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 132:279-285.

Abstract
Highly sensitive phenol biosensor was developed by using well-dispersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in enzyme solution and adding CNTs in enzyme electrodes. First, the intact CNTs were dispersed in aqueous tyrosinase (TYR) solution, and TYR molecules were precipitated and crosslinked to prepare the sample of enzyme adsorption, precipitation and crosslinking (EAPC). EAPC exhibited 10.5- and 5.4-fold higher TYR activity per mg of CNTs as compared to enzyme adsorption (EA) and enzyme adsorption/crosslinking (EAC), respectively. EAPC retained 29% of its initial activity after incubation at 40 °C for 128 h, while EA and EAC showed no residual activities, respectively. In biosensing a model phenolic compound of catechol, the sensitivities of EA, EAC and EAPC electrodes on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) were 34, 281 and 675 µA/mM/cm2, respectively. When 90 w/w% CNTs were added to the enzyme electrodes, the sensitivities of EA, EAC, and EAPC electrodes were 146, 427, and 1160 µA/mM/cm2, respectively, and the EAPC electrode showed a 2.3-fold increase in sensitivity upon CNT addition. Catechol and phenol could also be detected by EAPC on the screen-printed electrode (SPE), with sensitivities of 1340 and 1170 µA/mM/cm2, respectively. The sensitivity of EAPC-SPE for phenol detection in the effluent from real municipal wastewater treatment plant was 1100 µA/mM/cm2. The sensitivity of EAPC-SPE retained 74% of its initial sensitivity after incubation at 40 °C for 12 h. The combination of EAPC immobilization and CNT addition has great potential for application in the development of sensitive enzyme biosensors for various analytes and phenols in water environments.

Abstract
Bis(guanidine) copper complexes are known for their ability to activate dioxygen. Unfortunately, until now, no bis(guanidine) copper-dioxygen adduct has been able to transfer oxygen to substrates. Using an aromatic backbone, fluorescence properties can be added to the copper(I) complex which renders them useful for later reaction monitoring. The novel bis(guanidine) ligand DMEG2tol stabilizes copper(I) and copper(II) complexes (characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry) and, after oxygen activation, bis(µ-oxido) dicopper(III) complexes which have been characterized by low-temperature UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy. These bis(guanidine) stabilized bis(µ-oxido) complexes are able to mediate tyrosinase-like hydroxylation activity as first examples of bis(guanidine) stabilized complexes. The experimental study is accompanied by density functional theory calculations which highlight the special role of the different guanidine donors.

Abstract
Tyrosinase model systems pinpoint pathways to translating Nature's synthetic abilities for useful synthetic catalysts. Mostly, they use N-donor ligands which mimic the histidine residues coordinating the two copper centres. Copper complexes with bis(pyrazolyl)methanes with pyridinyl or imidazolyl moieties are already reported as excellent tyrosinase models. Substitution of the pyridinyl donor results in the new ligand HC(3-tBuPz)2 (4-CO2 MePy) which stabilises a room-temperature stable μ-η2 :η2 -peroxide dicopper(II) species upon oxygenation. It reveals highly efficient catalytic activity as it hydroxylates 8-hydroxyquinoline in high yields (TONs of up to 20) and much faster than all other model systems (max. conversion within 7.5 min). Stoichiometric reactions with para-substituted sodium phenolates show saturation kinetics which are nearly linear for electron-rich substrates. The resulting Hammett correlation proves the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate the influence of the substituent at the pyridinyl donor: the carboxymethyl group adjusts the basicity and nucleophilicity without additional steric demand. This substitution opens up new pathways in reactivity tuning.

Abstract
Nature uses dioxygen as a key oxidant in the transformation of biomolecules. Among the enzymes that are utilized for these reactions are copper-containing metalloenzymes, which are responsible for important biological functions such as the regulation of neurotransmitters, dioxygen transport, and cellular respiration. Enzymatic and model system studies work in tandem in order to gain an understanding of the fundamental reductive activation of dioxygen by copper complexes. This review covers the most recent advancements in the structures, spectroscopy, and reaction mechanisms for dioxygen-activating copper proteins and relevant synthetic models thereof. An emphasis has also been placed on cofactor biogenesis, a fundamentally important process whereby biomolecules are post-translationally modified by the pro-enzyme active site to generate cofactors which are essential for the catalytic enzymatic reaction. Significant questions remaining in copper-ion-mediated O2-activation in copper proteins are addressed.

Abstract
A long-standing debate in the Cu-O2 field has revolved around the relevance of the Cu(III) oxidation state in biological redox processes. The proposal of Cu(III) in biology is generally challenged as no spectroscopic or structural evidence exists currently for its presence. The reaction of synthetic Cu(I) complexes with O2 at low temperature in aprotic solvents provides the opportunity to investigate and define the chemical landscape of Cu-O2 species at a small-molecule level of detail; eight different types are characterized structurally, three of which contain at least one Cu(III) center. Simple imidazole or histamine ligands are competent in these oxygenation reactions to form Cu(III) complexes. The combination of synthetic structural and reactivity data suggests (1) that Cu(I) should be considered as either a one or two electron reductant reacting with O2, (2) that Cu(III) reduction potentials of these formed complexes are modest and well within the limits of a protein matrix and (3) that primary amine and imidazole ligands are surprisingly good at stabilizing Cu(III) centers. These Cu(III) complexes are efficient oxidants for hydroxylating phenolate substrates with reaction hallmarks similar to that performed in biological systems. The remarkable ligation similarity of the synthetic and biological systems makes it difficult to continue to exclude Cu(III) from biological discussions.

Abstract
Hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) by immobilized tyrosinase in the presence of ascorbic acid (AH2), which reduces DOPA-quinone to L-DOPA, is characterized by low reaction yields that are mainly caused by the suicide inactivation of tyrosinase by L-DOPA and AH2. The main aim of this work was to compare processes with native and immobilized tyrosinase to identify the conditions that limit suicide inactivation and produce substrate conversions to L-DOPA of above 50% using HPLC analysis. It was shown that immobilized tyrosinase does not suffer from partitioning and diffusion effects, allowing a direct comparison of the reactions performed with both forms of the enzyme. In typical processes, additional aeration was applied and boron ions to produce the L-DOPA and AH2 complex and hydroxylamine to close the cycle of enzyme active center transformations. It was shown that the commonly used pH 9 buffer increased enzyme stability, with concomitant reduced reactivity of 76%, and that under these conditions, the maximal substrate conversion was approximately 25 (native) to 30% (immobilized enzyme). To increase reaction yield, the pH of the reaction mixture was reduced to 8 and 7, producing L-DOPA yields of approximately 95% (native enzyme) and 70% (immobilized). A three-fold increase in the bound enzyme load achieved 95% conversion in two successive runs, but in the third one, tyrosinase lost its activity due to strong suicide inactivation caused by L-DOPA processing. In this case, the cost of the immobilized enzyme preparation is not overcome by its reuse over time, and native tyrosinase may be more economically feasible for a single use in L-DOPA production. The practical importance of the obtained results is that highly efficient hydroxylation of monophenols by tyrosinase can be obtained by selecting the proper reaction pH and is a compromise between complexation and enzyme reactivity.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a binuclear copper-containing metalloprotein that leads the fast and regio-selective o-hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols. However, the subsequent second oxidation to produce o-quinones, i.e., melanin precursors, from the o-diphenols has restricted its use to the production of functional o-diphenol derivatives. Herein, we present a combined strategy for the effective inhibition of melanin formation in tyrosinase reaction, which allows the use of tyrosinase as a monophenol monooxygenase. The o-diphenolic products were protected from being oxidized in the tyrosinase reaction by borate ions and L-ascorbic acid (LAA). Borate-o-diphenol complexes were favorable formed at high pH and consequentially protected the o-diphenolic products from the catecholase activity of tyrosinase. LAA not only directly reduced the byproduct, o-quinones, into o-diphenols but also assisted the completion of the tyrosinase reaction cycle by removing a hydroxyl group attached to the copper metal cluster at the active site of the met-form tyrosinase. The regio-selective o-hydroxylation of 7,4'-dihydroxyisoflavone (daidzein) to produce 7,3',4'-trihydroxyisoflavone (3'-ODI) was successfully carried out by whole E. coli cell biotransformation with heterologously expressed tyrosinase from Bacillus megaterium. The yield of this o-hydroxylation of 5 mM daidzein in one-pot 400 mL reaction was ca. 100% in 90 min and the productivity was 16.3 mg 3'-ODI · L(-1) · h(-1) · DCW mg(-1), which is considerably higher than that of other monooxygenases. The method effectively abolished melanin synthesis, so that the o-diphenolic product remained stable without enzyme inactivation. Other monophenolic phytochemicals such as resveratrol and genistein could be subjected to the same strategy. After 1 h, 1 mM of genistein and resveratrol were both converted to orobol and piceatannol, respectively, with ca. 95% conversion yield. These results support the strong potential of tyrosinase as a monooxygenase for regio-selective o-hydroxylation of various monophenolic compounds.

Abstract
Nature's facility with dioxygen outmatches modern chemistry in the oxidation and oxygenation of materials and substrates for biosynthesis and cellular metabolism. The Earth's most abundant naturally occurring oxidant is-frankly-poorly understood and controlled, and thus underused. Copper-based enzyme metallocofactors are ubiquitous to the efficient consumption of dioxygen by all domains of life. Over the last several decades, we have joined many research groups in the study of copper- and dioxygen-dependent enzymes through close investigation of synthetically derived, small-molecule active-site analogs. Simple copper-dioxygen clusters bearing structural and spectroscopic similarity to dioxygen-activating enzymes can be probed for their fundamental geometrical, electronic, and reactive properties using the tools available to inorganic and synthetic chemistry. Our exploration of the copper-dioxygen arena has sustained product evaluation of the key dynamics and reactivity of binuclear Cu2O2 compounds. Almost exclusively operating at low temperatures, from -78 °C to solution characterization even at -125 °C, we have identified numerous compounds supported by simple and easily accessed, low molecular weight ligands-chiefly families of bidentate diamine chelates. We have found that by stripping away complexity in comparison to extended protein tertiary structures or sophisticated, multinucleating architectures, we can experimentally manipulate activated compounds and open pathways of reactivity toward exogenous substrates that both inform on and extend fundamental mechanisms of oxygenase enzymes. Our recent successes have advanced understanding of the tyrosinase enzyme, and related hemocyanin and NspF, and the copper membrane monooxygenases, specifically particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) and ammonia monooxygenase (AMO). Tyrosinase, ubiquitously distributed throughout life, is fundamental to the copper-based oxidation of phenols and the production of chromophores by dedicated biosynthesis or incidental oxidative browning. The copper membrane monooxygenases are comparatively new entrants to the copper-dioxygen field. While pMMO mediates the synthetically tantalizing transformation of methane to methanol, AMO catalyzes the first metabolic step in deriving chemical energy from ammonia-a reaction massively represented on a global scale and a critical component of chemical homeostasis on Earth. In this Account, we begin by introduction of the synthetic copper-dioxygen chemistry field, from techniques to the differential coordination of dioxygen with copper. Then, we describe the unambiguous self-assembly of an oxygenated tyrosinase mimic from basic constituents (copper, dioxygen, and monodentate-imidazole histidine analogs) and the resulting emergence of intrinsic reactivity, free of any influence due to the protein environment. Next, we discuss the first catalytic oxidation of phenol through a fully characterized tyrosinase mimic, derived from molecular oxygen, and its application to substrates unreactive in the native enzyme system. Finally, we detail evidence for chemical plausibility of dioxygen activation in pMMO (and AMO) through a high-valent species and the thermodynamic criteria that beg introduction of the Cu(III) state to biological redox catalysis.

Abstract
Dioxygen is widely used in nature as oxidant. Nature itself has served as inspiration to use O2 in chemical synthesis. However, the use of dioxygen as an oxidant is not straightforward. Its triplet ground-state electronic structure makes it unreactive toward most organic substrates. In natural systems, metalloenzymes activate O2 by reducing it to more reactive peroxide (O2(2-)) or superoxide (O2(-)) forms. Over the years, the development of model systems containing transition metals has become a convenient tool for unravelling O2-activation mechanistic aspects and reproducing the oxidative activity of enzymes. Several copper-based systems have been developed within this area. Tyrosinase is a copper-based O2-activating enzyme, whose structure and reactivity have been widely studied, and that serves as a paradigm for O2 activation at a dimetal site. It contains a dicopper center in its active site, and it catalyzes the regioselective ortho-hydroxylation of phenols to catechols and further oxidation to quinones. This represents an important step in melanin biosynthesis and it is mediated by a dicopper(II) side-on peroxo intermediate species. In the present accounts, our research in the field of copper models for oxygen activation is collected. We have developed m-xylyl linked dicopper systems that mimick structural and reactivity aspects of tyrosinase. Synergistic cooperation of the two copper(I) centers results in O2 binding and formation of bis(μ-oxo)dicopper(III) cores. These in turn bind and ortho-hydroxylate phenolates via an electrophilic attack of the oxo ligand over the arene. Interestingly the bis(μ-oxo)dicopper(III) cores can also engage in ortho-hydroxylation-defluorination of deprotonated 2-fluorophenols, substrates that are well-known enzyme inhibitors. Analysis of Cu2O2 species with different binding modes show that only the bis(μ-oxo)dicopper(III) cores can mediate the reaction. Finally, the use of unsymmetric systems for oxygen activation is a field that still remains rather unexplored. We envision that the unsymmetry might infere interesting new reactivities. We contributed to this topic with the development of an unsymmetric ligand (m-XYL(N3N4)), whose dicuprous complex reacts with O2 and forms a trans-peroxo dicopper(II) species that showed a markedly different reactivity compared to a symmetric trans-peroxo dicopper(II) analog. Nucleophilic reactivity is observed for the unsymmetric trans-peroxo dicopper(II) species against electrophilies such as H(+), CO2 and aldehydes, and neither oxygen atom transfer nor hydrogen abstraction is observed when reacting with oxygen atom acceptors (triphenyl phosphine, sulfides) and substrates with weak C-H bonds. Instead, electrophilic monooxygenase-like ortho-hydroxylation reactivity is described for these unsymmetric species upon reaction with phenolates. Finally, by using a second dinucleating unsymmetric ligand (L(N3N4)), we have described copper(I) containing heterodimetallic systems and explored their O2 binding properties. Site specific metalation led to the generation of dimeric heterometallic M'CuO2CuM' species from intermolecular O2 binding at copper sites.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (Ty) is a copper-containing enzyme widely present in plants, bacteria, and humans, where it is involved in biosynthesis of melanin-type pigments. Development of Ty inhibitors is an important approach to control the production and the accumulation of pigments in living systems. In this paper, we focused our interest in phenylthiourea (PTU) and phenylmethylene thiosemicarbazone (PTSC) recognized as inhibitors of tyrosinase by combining enzymatic studies and coordination chemistry methods. Both are efficient inhibitors of mushroom tyrosinase and they can be considered mainly as competitive inhibitors. Computational studies verify that PTSC and PTU inhibitors interact with the metal center of the active site. The KIC value of 0.93 μM confirms that PTSC is a much more efficient inhibitor than PTU, for which a KIC value of 58 μM was determined. The estimation of the binding free energies inhibitors/Ty confirms the high inhibitor efficiency of PTSC. Binding studies of PTSC along with PTU to a dinuclear copper(II) complex ([Cu2(μ-BPMP)(μ-OH)](ClO4)2 (1); H-BPMP = 2,6-bis-[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol) known to be a structural and functional model for the tyrosinase catecholase activity, have been performed. Interactions of the compounds with the dicopper model complex 1 were followed by spectrophotometry and electrospray ionization (ESI). The molecular structure of 1-PTSC and 1-PTU adducts were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showing for both an unusual bridging binding mode on the dicopper center. These results reflect their adaptable binding mode in relation to the geometry and chelate size of the dicopper center.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of guanidinium bis-porphyrin tweezers 1 and fullerene carboxylate 3, their assembly into a novel supramolecular 1@3 electron donor-acceptor hybrid, and its characterization. In solution, the binding constant affording 1@3 is exceptionally high. 1@3, which features a highly confined topography, builds up from a combination of guanidinium-carboxylate hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking/charge-transfer motifs. The latter is governed by interactions between the electron-donating porphyrin and the electron-accepting fullerene. Importantly, positive cooperativity between the applied binding motifs is corroborated by a number of experimental techniques, such as NMR, absorption, fluorescence, etc. In addition, transient absorption experiments shed light onto electron-transfer processes taking place in the ground state and upon photoexcitation. In fact, porphyrin excitation powers an electron transfer to the fullerene yielding charge separated state lifetimes in the nanosecond regime.

Abstract
The bis(μ-oxo)dicopper(III) species [Cu(III) 2 (μ-O)2 (m-XYL(MeAN) )](2+) (1) promotes the electrophilic ortho-hydroxylation-defluorination of 2-fluorophenolates to give the corresponding catechols, a reaction that is not accomplishable with a (η(2) :η(2) -O2 )dicopper(II) complex. Isotopic labeling studies show that the incoming oxygen atom originates from the bis(μ-oxo) unit. Ortho-hydroxylation-defluorination occurs selectively in intramolecular competition with other ortho-substituents such as chlorine or bromine.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme found in plants and bacteria, as well as in humans, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of melanin-type pigments. Tyrosinase inhibitors have attracted remarkable research interest as whitening agents in cosmetology, antibrowning agents in food chemistry, and as therapeutics. In this context, commercially available tyrosinase from mushroom (TyM) is frequently used for the identification of inhibitors. This and bacterial tyrosinase (TyB) have been the subjects of intense biochemical and structural studies, including X-ray diffraction analysis, and this has led to the identification of structural homology and divergence among enzymes from different sources. To better understand the behavior of potential inhibitors of TyM and TyB, we selected the aurone family-previously identified as potential inhibitors of melanin biosynthesis in human melanocytes. In this study, a series of 24 aurones with different hydroxylation patterns at the A- and B-rings were evaluated on TyM and TyB. The results show that, depending on the hydroxylation pattern of A- and B-rings, aurones can behave as inhibitors, substrates, and activators of both enzymes. Computational analysis was performed to identify residues surrounding the aurones in the active sites of both enzymes and to rationalize the interactions. Our results highlight similarities and divergence in the behavior of TyM and TyB toward the same set of molecules.
