A density functional computational study has been performed on a model system for the formation of the A and B rings in the oxidosqulene cyclase pathway for the cyclization of squalene to lanosterol. Unlike what had previously been found for the squalene hopene cyclase pathway, the formation of the A and B rings was found not to be concerted. Two intermediates were located on the reaction pathway during the formation of the B ring, though they were found to be very shallow minima on a quite flat part of the potential surface. It is unlikely that in the enzymatic pathway these intermediates would play an important role, if indeed they exist at all. |
