FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedF420H2-oxidase (FprA) catalyses the four-electron reduction of O2 to 2H2O using the reduced form of F420 as electron donor. The hydrophobic O2-channel detected by Kr-derivatization and the concerted movement of a gating loop could contribute to prevent unwanted side-reaction between the catalytic intermediates and solvents, therefore preventing reactive oxygen species formation. Krypton-derivatization highlights O2-channeling in a four-electron reducing oxidase.,Engilberge S, Wagner T, Carpentier P, Girard E, Shima S Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Sep 17;56(74):10863-10866. doi: 10.1039/d0cc04557h.
