abstract：:Methane monooxygenase (MMO) catalyses the biological transformation of methane to methanol at a binuclear iron site. Guided by the three-dimensional structure of the R2 protein of E. coli ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), we have aligned the sequences of two different MMOs with the sequences of the iron coordinating fou...
