It is shown that the two forms of the R2lox cofactor differ primarily in terms of the local site geometry and electronic state of the MnIII ion, as best evidenced by a reorientation of its unique 55Mn hyperfine axis. Analysis of the metal hyperfine tensors in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggests that this change is triggered by deprotonation of the μ-hydroxo bridge. These results have important consequences for the mixed-metal R2c cofactor and the divergent chemistry R2lox and R2c perform. © 2014 American Chemical Society. |
