The study described here was designed to investigate the cyclization mechanism by studying a model enzyme, (4R)-(+)-limonene synthase ((+)-LS), a monoterpene cyclase that produces (+)-limonene by using substrate GPP. The study synthesized two novel difluorinated substrate analogues, 8,9-difluorogeranyl diphosphate (DFGPP) and 8,9-difluorolinalyl diphosphate (DFLPP), which were designed to retard the cyclization step in order to observe the intermediate at the enzyme active site. Both analogues are proved to be substrates for (+)- -1 LS. Compared to GPP, which has a kcat value of 0.0905 ± 0.0070 s , DFGPP has a reduced kcat -1 value at 0.00144 ± 0.00002 s , showing a 69-fold slower rate in the catalytic reaction. The KM value of DFGPP is 20.50 ± 1.05 µM, and does not change much compared to that of the nonfluorinated substrate with 29.79 ± 7.83 µM. Both DFGPP and DFLPP are catalyzed to make the same acyclic product and the structure of the product has been investigated through NMR. Our results indicate that LPP might be an intermediate in the ring closure mechanism for (+)- LS. Additionally, LPP is also proved to be a substrate for (+)-LS and makes (+)-limonene. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iv TABLE OF CONTENTS v LIST OF SCHEMES AND FIGURES vi INTRODUCTION Terpenes 1 Monoterpene Synthases 2 Limonene Synthase 4 Fluorinated Substrate Analogues 6 MATERIALS AND METHODS Difluorinated Substrate Analogues Synthesis 9 Enzymatic Activity Study 24 Fluorinated Terpene Product Structural Determination 26 Crystallization 26 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Difluorinated Substrate Analogues Synthesis 27 Enzymatic Activity Study 33 Future Directions 41 APPENDIX: SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURES 43 REFERENCES 46 v LIST OF SCHEMES AND FIGURES List of Schemes 1.

Many terpenes are essential for plants in their secondary metabolism like plant hormones, and for ecological interactions, such as chemical defenses, and pollinator attractants.1 Besides, terpenes have economic and industrial applications ranging from flavorings and fragrances to solvents, medicines, and natural rubber, etc.2 Recently, scientists have considered terpenes as potential biofuels as alternatives to existing fuel due to their high-energy content and physiochemical similarities to petroleum-based fuels.3,4,5 In the pharmaceutical field, some terpenes have also found use as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and anti-metastatic agents.6, 7 Despite their structural diversity, terpenes are constructed with a repetitive and “head- to-tail” joining of C5 isoprenoid units. All terpenes are derived from a common precursor, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), which is isomerized to dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) using IPP isomerase. Prenyltransferases catalyze the condensation reaction of one DMAPP with one IPP unit to form the monoterpene (C10) precursor, geranyl diphosphate (GPP). An addition of one IPP unit to GPP will give farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), the precursor for sesquiterpenes (C15), and one addition of IPP to FPP will then give geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), which 1 is the precursor for diterpenes (C20) (Figure 1). Most terpenes are found to be only derived from those three acyclic precursors. - 1 - Figure 1. Generation of Acyclic Precursors: DMAPP being sequentially elongated by prenyltransferases to generate geranyl diphosphate (GPP), farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), and geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP). Adapted from Davis & Croteau (2000).1 Monoterpene Synthases Monoterpenes are a class of terpenes containing two isoprene units with the molecular formula C10H16, and they can be either cyclic or acyclic. This study focuses on the study of limonene synthase, which is a monoterpene cyclase that produces the cyclic monoterpene - 2 - limonene using substrate GPP. Over many years, Croteau and co-workers have established a common monoterpene cyclization mechanism, which involves several high-energy carbocationic intermediates.8-10 The stereochemistry of monoterpene products is determined at the very first stereoselective binding of distinct GPP conformation at the enzyme active site.10 The cyclization reaction is then initiated with divalent metal ion-dependent (Mn2+ or Mg2+) ionization of the allylic diphosphate on GPP, forming a resonance-stabilized allylic carbenium ion. A syn-migration of the diphosphate to C3 gives the tightly enzyme-bound and undetectable intermediate, linalyl diphosphate (LPP), which geometrically allows the newly formed C2-C3 single bond to rotate under a lower energy barrier compared to the geranyl cation. Therefore, C1 is now in a preferred position for C6-C1 cyclization from an anti-endo conformation. A second ionization of the allylic diphosphate on LPP is then followed by C6-C1 cyclization to give the proposed universal monoterpene intermediate, the α-terpinyl cation. Finally, reactions are terminated with deprotonation, nucleophile capture, hydride shifts, etc. Monoterpene basic skeletons then go through a series of oxidation reactions to achieve great cyclic monoterpene diversity (Figure 2).13 Divalent metal ions (Mn2+ or Mg2+) are found to be required for monoterpene synthases catalysis, and an absolutely conserved aspartate-rich DDxxD motif in monoterpene synthases active site is believed to be involved in those divalent ions coordination for substrate binding.11,12 - 3 - Figure 2. Proposed Monoterpene Synthase Cyclization Mechanism & Monoterpene diversity. Starting from GPP, monoterpene cyclization requires ionization and syn-migration of the allylic diphosphate to give the proposed intermediate, LPP, which

Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Meaghan E. Guyader Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Christopher P. Higgins Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Terri S. Hogue Professor and Department Head Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ii ABSTRACT On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are a suspected source of widespread trace organic contaminant (TOrC) occurrence in Minnesota lakes. TOrCs are a diverse set of synthetic and natural chemicals regularly used as cleaning agents, personal care products, medicinal substances, herbicides and pesticides, and foods or flavorings. Wastewater streams are known to concentrate TOrC discharges to the environment, particularly accumulating these chemicals at outfalls from centralized wastewater treatment plants. Fish inhabiting these effluent dominated environments are also known to display intersex qualities. Concurrent evidence of this phenomenon, known as endocrine disruption, in Minnesota lake fish drives hypotheses that OWTSs, the primary form of wastewater treatment in shoreline residences, may contribute to TOrC occurrence and the endocrine activity in these water bodies. The causative agents specific to fish in this region remain poorly understood. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate OWTSs as sources of TOrCs in Minnesota lakes, and TOrCs as potential causative agents for endocrine disruption in resident fish.

Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing N03-N and NH4-N in the ratio 3-5:1 (total nitrogen 30-75 mM) with 1.0mg/l NAA and 0.2mg/l TDZ was most desirable for cell growth (MS-O medium). The growth showed 14-fold increase after 30 days of culture in this medium. A higher ratio of NH4-N to total nitrogen resulted in hinokitiol accumulation in the cells. When the cells were transferred to the modified MS-O medium with the ratio of N03-N:NH4-N changed to 1:2 (MS-PC medium), an increase of hinokitiol level was observed. Also feeding acetates to the medium enhanced hinokitiol accumula- tion considerably. The highest hinokitiol content of 422tg/g FW was obtained when the cells were cultured in MS-O medium supplemented with 4.3mM acetic acid. Introduction An irregular monoterpene hinokitiol (B-thujaplicin) is widely present in the heartwood of the families Cupressaceae1). Hinokitiol has antimicrobial properties, and recently it has been indicated that hinokitiol suppresses ethylene synthesis and respiration of some fruits and vegetables.

Dumanoglu1, M. Kara1, A. Bayram1, D. Tolunay2, M. Odabasi1 & T. Elbir1 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Dokuz Eylul University, Turkey 2Department of Soil Science and Ecology, Faculty of Forestry, Istanbul University, Turkey Abstract Biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from thirty-eight tree species (twenty broad leaved and eighteen coniferous) grown in Turkey were measured. BVOC samples were collected with a specialized dynamic enclosure technique in forest areas where these tree species are naturally grown. In this method, the branches were enclosed in transparent nalofan bags maintaining their natural conditions and avoiding any source of stress. The air samples from the inlet and outlet of the bags were collected on an adsorbent tube containing Tenax. Samples were analyzed using a thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system. Sixty-five BVOC compounds were analyzed in five major groups: isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpens, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and other oxygenated VOCs. Emission factors were calculated and adjusted to standard conditions (1000 μmol/m2 s photosynthetically active radiation-PAR and 30°C temperature). Consistent with the literature, broad leaved trees emitted mainly isoprene while the coniferous trees emitted mainly monoterpenes. Even though fir species are coniferous trees, they emitted significant amounts of isoprene in addition to monoterpenes. Oak species showed a large inter-species variability in their emissions. Pine species emitted mainly monoterpenes and substantial amounts of oxygenated compounds. Keywords: BVOC emissions, dynamic enclosure system, emission factor, Turkey.

Abstract This thesis investigates the challenging task of sensitive and selective trace detection of explosive compounds by means of proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). In order to address this, new analytical strategies and hardware improvements, leading to new methodologies and analytical tools, have been developed and tested. These are, in order of the Chapters presented in this thesis, the switching of reagent ions, the implementation of a novel thermal desorption unit, and the use of an ion funnel drift tube or fast reduced electric field switching to modify the ion chemistry. In addition to these, a more fundamental study has been undertaken to investigate the reactions of picric acid (PiA) with a number of different reagent ions. The novel approaches described in this thesis have improved the PTR-MS technique by making it more versatile in terms of its analytical performance, namely providing assignment of chemical compounds with high confidence.

  • Estimation of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (Bvocs)
    1 Estimation of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) 2 emissions from the terrestrial ecosystem in China using real-time 3 remote sensing data 4 M. Li, X. Huang, J. Li and Y. Song* 5 State Key Joint Laboratory of Environmental Simulation and Pollution Control, 6 Department of Environmental Science, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China 7 * Corresponding author: [email protected] 8 Abstract 9 Because of the high emission rate and reactivity, biogenic volatile organic 10 compounds (BVOCs) play a significant role in the terrestrial ecosystems, human health, 11 secondary pollution, global climate change and the global carbon cycle. Past 12 estimations of BVOC emissions in China on the national scale were based on outdated 13 empirical algorithms suggested around 10 years ago and coarsely-resolved 14 meteorological data, and there have been significant aging of the land surface 15 parameters in dynamic meteorological models and BVOC estimation models, leading 16 to large inaccuracies in the estimated results. To refine BVOC emission estimations for 17 China, we used the latest algorithms of MEGAN (Model of Emissions of Gases and 18 Aerosols from Nature), with modified MM5 (the Fifth-Generation Mesoscale Model) 19 providing highly resolved meteorological data, to estimate the biogenic emissions of 20 VOCs for China in 2006. Real-time MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging 21 Spectroradiometer) land-use and vegetative cover data were introduced in MM5 to 22 replace the land surface parameters and to improve the simulation performance of 23 MM5. Highly-resolved 8-day MODIS leaf area index (LAI) data were also used to 24 determine the influence of LAI and leaf age deviation from standard conditions.

In general, a standard gas in the hollow cathode discharge where H2 O mole- PTR - MS instrument consists of external ion source, cule can be ionized according to the following ways [4] : drift tube, and mass analysis detection system. Figure 28.1 illustrates the basic composition of the PTR - MS + ee+→++HO22 H O 2, (28.1) instrument constructed in our laboratory using a quad- +→+++ rupole mass spectrometer as the detection system.
