Abstract: Aminofutalosine synthase (MqnE) is a radical SAM enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-((1-carboxyvinyl)oxy)benzoic acid to aminofutalosine during the futalosine-dependent menaquinone biosynthesis. In this Communication, we report the trapping of a radical intermediate in the… read more here.
