the O2 activation mechanism suggests the binding of O2 to the metal ion followed by the attack of the distal oxygen atom on the cysteine sulfur. An alternative mechanism entails the attack of the cysteine sulfur on the proximal oxygen atom of the dioxygen moiety to form a persulfenate intermediate without any redox exchange between the metal ion and the O2 ligand. The O2 activation mechanism with a Ni-substituted active site follows the same pattern as native CDOs albeit with much higher energy barriers for the formation of the intermediates. The immediate cleavage of the persulfenate S-O bond in the alternative mechanism suggests that cysteine persulfenate might not be a true intermediate |
