Fe | the reinterpretation of the crystal structure suggests a new reaction mechanism: In step I, formate binds directly to Mo, displacing Se-Cys140. In step II, the alpha-proton from formate may be transferred to the nearby His141 that acts as general base. In this step the CO2 molecule can be released and two electrons transferred to Mo. Alternatively, step II may involve a selenium-carboxylated intermediate. In step III, electrons from Mo(IV) are transferred via the [4Fe-4S] center to an external electron acceptor and the catalytic cycle is completed | Escherichia coli | |
