Thiolate ligation to iron plays a vital role in the enzymatic deactivation of reactive oxygen species. Superoxide reductase (SOR) found in microaerophilies catalyzes the reduction of superoxide (O2−•), yielding H2O2 [1] and has an active site that consists of an iron center with four equatorial His ligands and an axial Cys ligand. The thiolate is proposed to stabilize the O–O bond of RS-FeIII (η1-OO (−/H)) intermediates and to weaken the Fe–(OO) bond to facilitate formation of H2O2.[1, 2] Evidence for an intermediate in the reaction between O2−• and SOR has been obtained, which exhibits a visible absorption feature at~ 600 nm.[3] Pulse radiolysis studies showed diffusion-controlled pH-independent formation of the intermediate, while its decay was found to be pH-dependent. These results led to the postulation of the intermediate as either an RS-FeII (OO•) adduct or the isoelectronic RS-FeIII (OO−); however its short lifetime has made it difficult to establish the iron oxidation
