==Overview==

We report the structures of three intermediates in the O2 activation and, insertion reactions of an extradiol ring-cleaving dioxygenase. A crystal, of Fe2+-containing homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase was soaked in the, slow substrate 4-nitrocatechol in a low O2 atmosphere. The x-ray crystal, structure shows that three different intermediates reside in different, subunits of a single homotetrameric enzyme molecule. One of these is the, key substrate-alkylperoxo-Fe2+ intermediate, which has been predicted, but, not structurally characterized, in an oxygenase. The intermediates define, the major chemical steps of the dioxygenase mechanism and point to a, general mechanistic strategy for the diverse 2-His-1-carboxylate enzyme, family.
