Spin-orbit coupling effects in O(2) activation by cofactor-independent 2,4-dioxygenase
The O2 (dioxygen) is paramagnetic molecule with two non-paired electron spins and triplet ground state (S = 1) while majority of organic molecules are diamagnetic species; they have all electron spins paired and the singlet ground state with the total spin S = 0. Oxygenases catalyze a concerted inse...
