“…77,78 It is, however, interesting that all Mn II Mn III model compounds exhibit only one -oxo bridge, but two carboxylate bridges. 26,31,46,47 Recently, a mutant (Y42F) from MnCAT of L. plantarum has been investigated by X-ray diffraction. 16 Albeit Tyr42 is at a distance of about 4Å from Mn in the wild type, this mutation interrupts a network of hydrogen bonds, leading to an 'open' form of the oxidized Mn III Mn III cluster, where one of the two -oxo bridges in the wild type is now bound to only one Mn.…”
