报告内容:
The MauG-catalyzed reaction is a three-step, six-electron oxidation process. Each step requires one equivalent of H2O2 as the oxidant.We have previously shown that an unprecedented high-valence bis-Fe(IV) intermediate of MauG orchestrates the oxidative production of TTQ.From our most recent EPR study, a novel tryptophan-based di-radical intermediate has been captured in the substrate protein preMADH as a result of oxidation by the bis-Fe(IV) species. In this presentation, I will focus on the long-range remote enzyme catalysis mechanism of TTQ biosynthesis with particular emphases on the chemical properties of these two critical intermediates.
