Spin-Orbit Interaction During the Activation of Molecular Oxygen by Oxidases and Cofactor-Free Oxygenases: A Review
摘要
The current state of research on spin-orbit interaction in cofactor-free oxidases and dioxygenases during oxygen activation is considered. The spin activation of triplet oxygen during combustion and respiration is analyzed in comparison with the reactions of flavin-containing enzymes, as well as important cofactor-independent dioxygenases. The mechanism of the triplet-singlet transition in glucose oxidase and a number of dioxygenases, including the RuBisCo oxygenase pathway and chirality-induced spin selectivity, is considered.
