Molecular geometries (B3LYP/6-31+G*)

The intermediates/molecules in the thiamine catalyzed decarboxylation mechanism explained in this paper listed down and their optimized Cartesian coordinates are given.

Step1. Isolated thiamine and ketoacid (A)

Step2: Transition state (TS1) of carbon-carbon bond formation

Step3: Initial complex (C)

Step4: Proton transfer transition state (TS2, D)

Step5: Tetrahedral intermediate, LThDP analogue (E)

Step6: Transition state (TS3) of carbon-carbon bond breaking (F)

Step 7: Enamine/carbanion formation (G)

optimized structure of Thiamine diphosphate model ( ThDP)

Docking of different ketoacids on the active site of the pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductases (PDB: 2PDA) using Glide extra-precision method. GScore = a * vdW + b * Coul + Lipo + Hbond + Metal + Rewards + RotB + Site, where,

vdW = van der Waals interaction energy

Coul = Coulomb interaction energy

Lipo = Lipophilic-contact plus phobic-attractive term

HBond = Hydrogen-bonding term

Metal = Metal-binding term (usually a reward)

Rewards = Various reward or penalty terms

RotB = Penalty for freezing rotatable bonds

Site = Polar interactions in the active site,

and the coefficients of vdW and Coul are: a = 0.050, b = 0.150 for Glide 5.0(the contribution from the Coulomb term is capped at -4 kcal/mol)
