On the singular, dual, and multiple positional specificity of manganese lipoxygenase and its G316A mutant

Abstract manganese lipoxygenase (Mn-LO) oxygenates 18:3n-3 and 18:2n-6 to bis-allylic 11S-hydroperoxy fatty acids, which are converted to 13R-hydroperoxy fatty acids. Other unsaturated C16-C22 fatty acids, except 17:3n-3, are poor substrates, possibly because of ineffective enzyme activation (MnII→M...
