quercetin + O2 = 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyloxy)-4,6-dihydroxybenzoate + CO + H+ | reaction mechanism, overview. Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and QM-only study on the oxidative ring-cleaving reaction of quercetin catalyzed by quercetin 2,4-dioxygenase, i.e. 2,4-QD, which has a mononuclear type 2 copper center and incorporates two oxygen atoms at C2 and C4 positions of the substrate. Dioxygen is more likely to bind to a Cu2+ ion than to a substrate radical, involving the dissociation of the substrate from the copper ion. Then a Cu2+-alkylperoxo complex can be generated. Steric effects of the protein environment contribute to maintain the orientation of the substrate dissociated from the copper center. A prior rearrangement of the Cu2+-alkylperoxo complex and a subsequent hydrogen bond switching assisted by the movement of Glu73 can facilitate formation of an endoperoxide intermediate selectively.
