A nickel-alkyl bond in an inactivated state of the enzyme catalyzing methane formation.
(Chemical Equation Presented) The spin reveals all: Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals the formation of a nickel-alkyl bond in the active site of methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), the key enzyme of methanogenesis, when active MCRred1 reacts with the irreversible inhibitor 3-bromop...
