摘要
The mechanism of C-PI bond activation by soluble methane monooxygenase is discussed in terms of the di-iron active site structure and the possible formation of free radicals versus Fe-C bonds, The mechanistic significance of reactions which depend on the substrate plus the vital in vivo role played by the regulatory protein are described.
