Crystal structure of the toluene/o-xylene monooxygenase hydroxylase from Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1. Insight into the substrate specificity, substrate channeling, and active site tuning of multicomponent monooxygenases.

Abstract excerpt

The four-component toluene/o-xylene monooxygenase (ToMO) from Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1 is capable of oxidizing arenes, alkenes, and haloalkanes at a carboxylate-bridged diiron center similar to that of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO). The remarkable variety of substrates accommodated by ToMO invites applications ranging from bioremediation to the regio- and enantiospecific oxidation of hydrocarbons on an...
