myo-Inositol oxygenase (MIOX) activates O2 at a mixed-valent nonheme diiron(II/III) cluster to effect oxidation of its cyclohexan-(1,2,3,4,5,6-hexa)-ol substrate [myo-inositol (MI)] by four electrons to d-glucuronate. Abstraction of hydrogen from C1 by a formally (superoxo)diiron(III/III) intermediate was previously proposed. Use of deuterium-labeled substrate, 1,2,3,4,5,6-[2H]6-MI (D6-MI), has now permitted initial characterization of the C-H-cleaving intermediate. The MIOX.1,2,3,4,5,6-[2H]6-MI ...[more]
