a) Rate-limiting PCET reaction catalyzed by an FeIII(OH) cofactor of SLO. b) Ground state active site structure of SLO with bound linoleic acid substrate (blue), from QM/MM calculations (ref.69). Flanking side chains L754, I553, and L546 (in gray) have been the subject of various mutational studies. c) HDX-MS identified protein network connecting the surface loop and active site in SLO. Residues L546, I552, I553, S749, S750, and Y317 (shown in pink spheres) line this network (ref. 18).
