Question:
Apart from direct O-atom transfer (Fig. 26.50), another mechanism proposed for Mo enzymes is indirect O-atom transfer, also known as coupled electron-proton transfer. In this mechanism, shown in Fig. 26.69 for sulfite oxidase, the O atom that is transferred originates instead from an uncoordinated H2O molecule. Propose a way to distinguish between direct and indirect O-atom transfer mechanisms.
