Abstract
Spectroscopic and kinetic evidence for substrate-based radicals in the reactions of lysine 2,3-aminomutase and methane monooxygenase has recently been gathered. Evidence for a protein-based thiyl radical in the mechanism of the action of ribonucleotide reductase has been correlated with the proposed mechanism involving substrate-based radicals. Controversies have arisen about the mechanisms of ribonucleotide reductase and methane monooxygenase reactions.
