Cool new paper by the Lancaster group at Cornell. Very comprehensive stuff! Resonance Raman, EPR, stopped-flow. Amazing how one phenylalanine can be so crucial for the maturation and selectivity of the enzyme.

Product selectivity of ammonia oxidation by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) is tightly controlled by metalloenzymes. Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) is responsible for the oxidation of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) to nitric oxide (NO). The non-metabolic enzyme cytochrome (cyt) P460 also oxidizes NH2OH, but instead pro
New paper from the Brunold group, go check it out! Laura for the first time identified the isotope-sensitive features of the Co-C and Co-C-N bending and stretching modes in cyanocobalamin.
There are some really good looking resonance Raman spectra in there. 👀
