Rieske nonheme iron oxygenases often catalyze different reactions when different substrates bind to them. From the structures of complexes of naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase with substrates that result in different types of products, it is shown that the binding orientation of the substrate not only dictates regioselectivity and stereospecificity, but also determines the type of reaction that is catalyzed.
