Abstract
We have investigated the active site of crystalline sulfite oxidase using X -ray absorption spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the crystalline pre paration contains molybdenum in the fully oxidized Mo-VI form, with a local structure that in solution, with two Mo=O ligands at 1.71 Angstrom and thr ee Mo-S at 2.41 Angstrom.
