Abstract

F₄₂₀H₂-oxidase (FprA) catalyses the four-electron reduction of O₂ to 2H₂O using the reduced form of F₄₂₀ as electron donor. The hydrophobic O₂-channel detected by Kr-derivatization and the concerted movement of a gating loop could contribute to prevent unwanted side-reaction between the catalytic intermediates and solvents, therefore preventing reactive oxygen species formation.
