Products formed by NDO with thioanisole (a), phenetole (c) and ethylphenylsulfide (e). Approximate ratios of products detected in biotransformation assays are shown in italics below the products. Wild-type NDO in complex with phenetole (green) (d), with ethylphenylsulfide (green) overlapped with that with naphthalene (purple) (f) and with thioanisole (green) (b), with active-site residues of NDO represented by sticks with green C atoms. The mononuclear iron (large orange sphere) and modeled dioxygen from PDB entry 1o7n (small red spheres) are also shown. |
