Quinone reductases belong to the family of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases. With the redox active cofactor, flavin adenine dinucleotide, quinone reductases are known to utilize a ping-pong kinetic mechanism during catalysis in which a hydride is bounced back and forth between flavin and its two substrates. However, the continuation of this catalytic cycle requires product displacement steps, where the product of one redox half-cycle is displaced by the substrate of the next half-cycle. Using improved hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical simulations, both the catalytic hydride transfer and the product displacement reactions were studied in NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2. Initially, the self-consistent charge-density functional tight binding theory was used to describe the flavin ring and the substrate atoms, while embedded in the molecular mechanically treated solvated active site. Then, for each step of the catalytic cycle, a further improvement of energetics was made using density functional theory-based corrections. The present study showcases an integrated interplay of solvation, protonation, and protein matrix induced polarization as the driving force behind the thermodynamic wheel of the ping-pong kinetics. Reported here is the first-principles model of the ping-pong kinetics that portrays how cyclic changes in the active site polarization and dynamics govern the oscillatory hydride transfer and product displacement in this enzyme.
