Structural highlights
Function[MEMB_METCA] Responsible for the initial oxygenation of methane to methanol in methanotrophs. It also catalyzes the monohydroxylation of a variety of unactivated alkenes, alicyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe 2.2 A crystal structure of the 251K alpha 2 beta 2 gamma 2 dimeric hydroxylase protein of methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) reveals the geometry of the catalytic di-iron core. The two iron atoms are bridged by exogenous hydroxide and acetate ligands and further coordinated by four glutamate residues, two histidine residues and a water molecule. The dinuclear iron centre lies in a hydrophobic active-site cavity for binding methane. An extended canyon runs between alpha beta pairs, which have many long alpha-helices, for possible docking of the reductase and coupling proteins required for catalysis.
