Evidence for distinct rate-limiting steps in the cleavage of alkenes by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019 Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) use a nonheme Fe(II) cofactor to split alkene bonds of carotenoid and stilbenoid substrates. The iron centers of CCDs are typically five-coordinate in their resting states, with solvent occupying an exchangeable ...
