Among them, a monooxygenated, seven-membered lactone intermediate as a monodentate ligand of the iron center at 1.59 A resolution is captured, which presumably corresponds to a substrate-based radical species observed by EPR using a slurry of small-sized single crystals. Other structural snapshots determined at around 2.0 A resolution include monodentate and subsequently bidentate coordinated substrate, superoxo, alkylperoxo, and two metal-bound enol tautomers of the unstable dioxygenase product
