Abstract:Rieske Oxygenases are enzymes that showcase the remarkable ability to functionalize an inert C–H bond. These enzymes use a Rieske [2Fe‐2S] cluster and a mononuclear iron center to bind and activate molecular oxygen. Using these metallocenters, Rieske Oxygenases have been shown to catalyze a variety of reactions, including one, two, and sequential hydroxylation reactions. This chemistry is important to the biosynthetic pathways of multiple organisms and is thus attractive for industrially building and tailoring… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
