Figure 11

Illustration of the spin topology of a hypothetical enzymatic peroxo (IP)19 O—O bond cleavage reaction to yield PM starting from an anti-ferromagnetic (top) or ferromagnetic (bottom) coupled ground state. Two electrons (an α,β pair) originating from Fe and Tyr244 (PhOH) fill the σ* of the oxygen to break the O—O bond.
