用从头计算和DFT方法计算S-腺苷甲锍氨酸多重甲基化赖氨酸的反应机理. 气相中非催化反应的能垒比较低, 反应势能剖面类似于SN2反应, 而在电介质中, 反应能垒很高. 在B3LYP/6-31G*和ONIOM (MP2: B3LYP)水平, 研究了Rubisco大亚基甲基转移酶活性位点的三个残基催化转移甲基到赖氨酸反应的过程. 在ONIOM (MP2: B3LYP)水平, 预测的反应能垒为82.8 kJ/mol, 与从实验得到的87.4 kJ/mol接近. 计算结果表明, 酶对过渡态并没有特殊的稳定作用, 主要通过为反应物提供一个没有溶剂的环境, 用临近的残基把亲电和亲核的底物连接在一起, 进而促使甲基化反应的进行.

The reaction mechanism of multiple lysine methylation by S-adenosylmethionine (as modeled by sulfonium ion) has been studied by means of ab initio and DFT calculations. The barriers of uncatalyzed reaction in gas phase are somewhat lower and the reaction profile resembles typical SN2 reactions, whereas the reactions present significantly higher barriers in dielectric media. The hydrogen bond contribution of three residues in the active site of the Rubisco large subunit methyltransferases to monomethylation reaction has also been evaluated by B3LYP/6-31G* and ONIOM MP2: B3LYP calculations. At the ONIOM (MP2:B3LYP) level, the reaction barrier was predicted to be 82.8 kJ/mol, which is in excellent agreement with the activation barrier of 87.4 kJ/mol estimated from the experimental value. The enzymes can not yield special stabilization on the transition state, however they provide a solvent-free room for the substrate (sulfonium ion and amine) and can bring the nucleophile and the electrophile together through the nearby residues, therefore facilitating the methylation processes.
