Activation of dioxygen (O 2) has attracted enormous attention due to its potential for utilization of methane and applications in other selective oxidation reactions. We (Edyta Tabor, Jiri Dedecek, ...

Metalloenzyme can couple dioxygen activation to substrate functionalization, which often exhibits unrivaled efficiency, even at ambient conditions. It is believed that metal-superoxo intermediates are ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

It has been widely accepted that the intra- and intermolecular forces that arise from the presence of water molecules are essential for protein structure and function. For example, numerous examples ...

Desulfovibrio gigas is a strict anaerobe that contains a well-characterized metabolic pathway that enables it to survive transient contacts with oxygen. The terminal enzyme in this pathway, rubredoxin ...

Dioxygen difluoride sounds rather harmless: just two of what you breathe and two of what's in your toothpaste. It even has an adorable, cushy nickname: FOOF. But most sane chemists know dioxygen ...
