Can ferric-oxyl excited states explain elongated iron-oxygen bonds in heme peroxidase catalytic intermediates?
The use of X-ray structures to determine and interpret the ferryl iron-oxygen bond order in molecular oxygen-activating heme enzymes has, in the past, been controversial. This has mainly stemmed from the susceptibility of ferryl species to X-ray-induced electronic state changes. In this work we establishe using time-re...
