Molecular mechanism of azoxy bond formation for azoxymycins biosynthesis

Azoxy bonds are frequently found in liquid crystals, chemical intermediates, dyes, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Here, the authors investigated azoxy bond formation by the non-heme diiron N-oxygenase AzoC in azoxymycin biosynthesis and show that the nitroso group plays a key part in it.
