“…However, it is also recognized now that Cpd I itself is not a ''single oxidant species'', since theory shows the participation of multiple spin states of Cpd I [4,5,9]. Furthermore, in cases where the formation of Cpd I is hampered, there exist experimental results that tentatively implicate the involvement of a second competent oxidant in oxidation reactions of P450 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In the catalytic cycle of P450, Cpd I is generated from the precursor ferric-hydroperoxy species,…”
