Reaction mechanism of diketone cleavage by Dke1. As the initially proposed reaction mechanism via a dioxetane intermediate (path 1, dashed arrows) [77] is high in energy, an alternative, energetically more feasible C—C bond cleavage mechanism has been proposed based on DFT calculations (path 2) [79].
