Isonitrile Formation by a Non-heme Iron(II)-Dependent Oxidase/Decarboxylase

The electron-rich isonitrile is an important functionality in bioactive natural products, but its biosynthesis has been restricted to the IsnA family of isonitrile synthases. We herein provide the first structural and biochemical evidence of an alternative mechanism for isonitrile formation. ScoE, a...
