Spin-orbit coupling effects in O(2) activation by cofactor-independent 2,4-dioxygenase [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2019 The O2 (dioxygen) is paramagnetic molecule with two non-paired electron spins and triplet ground state (S = 1) while majority of organic molecules are diamagnetic species; they have all electron spins paired and the singlet ground state with the total ...

OxDBase: a database of oxygenases involved in biodegradation
BMC Research Notes, 2009 Background Oxygenases belong to the oxidoreductive group of enzymes (E.C. Class 1), which oxidize the substrates by transferring oxygen from molecular oxygen (O2) and utilize FAD/NADH/NADPH as the co-substrate.

Bacillus subtilis HmoB is a heme oxygenase with a novel structure [PDF]
BMB Reports, 2012 Iron availability is limited in the environment and mostbacteria have developed a system to acquire iron from hosthemoproteins. Heme oxygenase plays an important role bydegrading heme group and releasing the essential nutrientiron.
