中文摘要epinephrine is a naturally occurring adrenomedullary hormone that transduces environmental stressors into cardiovascular actions. as the only route in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway, phenylethanolamine n-methyltransferase (pnmt) catalyzes the synthesis of epinephrine. to elucidate the detailed mechanism of enzymatic catalysis of pnmt, combined quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (qm/mm) calculations were performed. the calculation results reveal that this catalysis contains three elementary steps: the deprotonation of protonated norepinphrine, the methyl transferring step and deprotonation of the methylated norepinphrine. the methyl transferring step was proved to be the rate-determining step undergoing a sn2 mechanism with an energy barrier of 16.4 kcal/mol. during the whole catalysis, two glutamic acids glu185 and glu219 were proved to be loaded with different effects according to the calculations results of the mutants. these calculation results can be used to explain the experimental observations and make a good complementarity for the previous qm study.
