Feasible intermediate states of the DNC in the catalytic cycle, in which A, PM/PR, F, and OH were identified by resonance Raman experiments on A-type oxidases,37–52 and their DNC’s are likely in the forms presented above. Although the Peroxo, Hydroperoxo, and FH states (drawn in red frames) were not observed experimentally, they may exist for a short time. Tyr is the special Y288 in aa3 and Y237 in ba3.
