Ferryl species are important catalytic intermediates in heme enzymes. A recent experimental investigation of a diheme protein MauG reported the first case of using two Fe(IV) species as an alternative to compound I in catalysis. Both Fe(IV) species have unusual Mössbauer properties, which was found to originate from novel structural features based on a quantum chemical investigation. With comparison to the previously reported Fe(IV)=O and Fe(IV)-OH species, results here provide the first evidenc ...[more]
