Lipoxygenase 2 from Cyanothece sp. controls dioxygen insertion by steric shielding and substrate fixation

Abstract The biological function of lipoxygenases depends on the regio and stereo specific formation of fatty acid-derived hydroperoxides and different concepts exist to explain the mechanism that directs dioxygen to a specific carbon atom within the substrate. Here, we report the 1.8 Å resolution c...
