Abstract
- (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-bromopropane sulfonate to form the MCRBPS species. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
