Abstract
In this communication the striking similarity between the EXAFS of soy bean lipoxygenase-1 and that of a methanol-solution of a well-characte rized iron-polyimidazole model compound is reported. This similarity i s a strong corroboration of the structure proposed earlier for the non -heme iron active site in lipoxygenase (S. Navaratnam, M.C. Feiters, M . Al-Hakim, J.C. Allen, G.A.
