title: Oxidative enzymatic alkene cleavage: indications for a nonclassical enzyme mechanism.
abstract: An enzyme preparation of Trametes hirsuta cleaves alkenes following neither the classical dioxygenase mechanism nor via a monooxygenase mechanism. A catalytic cycle for an alternative enzymatic alkene cleavage was proposed, whereby two oxygen atoms derived from two different oxygen molecules are incorporated into the product(s).
