In this paper, by using the perturbed matrix method (PMM) in combination with basic statistical mechanical relations both based on nanosecond time-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we quantitatively address the thermodynamics of compound 0 (Cpd 0) formation in horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme. Our results, in the same trend of low-temperature experimental data, obtained in cryoenzymology studies indicate that such a reaction can be described essentially as a stepwise spontaneous process: a first step mechanically constrained, strongly exothermic proton transfer from the heme-H2O2 complex to the conserved His42, followed by a solvent-protein relaxation involving a large entropy increase. Critical evaluation of PMM/MD data also reveals the crucial role played by specific residues in the reaction pocket and, more in general, by the conformational fluctuations of the overall environment in physiological conditions.
