Popis The engineering of efficient enzymes for large-scale production of industrially relevant compounds is a challenging task. Utilizing rational protein design, which relies on a comprehensive understanding of mechanistic information, holds significant promise for achieving success in this endeavor. Pre-steady-state kinetic measurements, obtained either through fast-mixing techniques or photoswitchable substrates, provide crucial mechanistic insights. The latter approach not only furnishes mechanistic clarity but also affords real-time structural elucidation of reaction intermediates via time-resolved femtosecond crystallography. Unfortunately, only a limited number of such valuable mechanistic probes are available. To address this gap, we applied a multidisciplinary approach, including computational analysis, chemical synthesis, physicochemical property screening, and enzyme kinetics to identify promising candidates for photoswitchable probes. We demonstrate the approach by designing an azobenzene-based photoswitchable substrate tailored for haloalkane dehalogenases, a prototypic class of enzymes pivotal in developing computational tools for rational protein design. The probe was subjected to steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic analysis, which revealed new insights about the catalytic behavior of the model biocatalysts. We employed laser-triggered Z-to-E azobenzene photoswitching to generate the productive isomer in situ, opening avenues for advanced mechanistic studies using time-resolved femtosecond crystallography. Our results not only pave the way for the mechanistic understanding of this model enzyme family, incorporating both kinetic and structural dimensions, but also propose a systematic approach to the rational design of photoswitchable enzymatic substrates.
