摘要： It is desired to design and construct more efficient enzymes with better performance to catalyze carbene N-H insertions for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. To this end, we exploited and designed a series of human neuroglobin (Ngb) mutants. As shown in this study, a double mutant, A15C/H64G Ngb, with an additional disulfide bond and a modified heme active site, exhibited yields up to >99% and total turnover numbers up to 33000 in catalyzing the carbene N-H insertions for aromatic amine derivatives, including those with a large size such as 1-aminopyrene. Moreover, for o-phenylenediamine derivatives, they underwent two cycles of N-H insertions, followed by cyclization to form quinoxalinones, as confirmed by the X-ray crystal structures. This study suggests that Ngb can be designed into a functional carbene transferase for efficiently catalyzing carbene N-H insertion reactions with a range of substrates. It also represents the first example of the formation of quinoxalinones catalyzed by an engineered heme enzyme.
