3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3MPA) dioxygenase (MDO) is a non-heme Fe(II)/O2-dependent oxygenase that catalyzes the oxidation of thiol-substrates to yield corresponding sulfinic acid. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between Fe-site and conserved set three outer-sphere residues (Ser–His–Tyr) play an important catalytic role in mechanism this enzyme. Collectively referred as SHY-motif, functional these remains poorly understood. Here, catalytically inactive Fe(III)-MDO precomplexed with 3MPA was...
