LITERATURE
Fe2+
the catalytic iron in 8R-LOX is positioned by three invariant His384, His389, and His570 side chains and the terminal main chain. Fe2+ sits in the base of a large U-shaped cavity, positioned by invariant Leu385 on one side, and the iron and His384 and His389 on the other. Leu385 and the catalytic iron cradle the base of the U
Iron
during the hydrogen abstraction step, the hydroxyl group bound to the metal center activates the C-H bond of the double-allylic carbon center of the substrate that leads to the formation of a radical center at the substrate
