Abstract
Natural enzymes contain highly evolved active sites that lead to fast rates and high selectivities.
Although artificial metalloenzymes have been developed that catalyze abiological
transformations with high stereoselectivity, the activities of these artificial enzymes are much lower than those of natural enzymes. Here, we report a reconstituted artificial
metalloenzyme containing an iridium porphyrin that exhibits kinetic parameters similar to
those of natural enzymes. In particular, variants of the P450 enzyme CYP119 containing iridium
in place of iron catalyze insertions of carbenes into C–H bonds with up to 98% enantiomeric
excess, 35,000 turnovers, and 2550 hours−1 turnover frequency. This activity leads to
intramolecular carbene insertions into unactivated C–H bonds and intermolecular carbene
insertions into C–H bonds. These results lift the restrictions on merging chemical catalysis and biocatalysis to create highly active, productive, and selective metalloenzymes
for abiological reactions.
