Formatted Abstract/Summary EPR spectroscopy in conjunction with isotope enrichment (95Mo, 2H and 17O) has been employed to probe the structure of the Mo(V) intermediates during catalysis.

We propose on the basis of our X-ray crystallographic data that the thiyl radical is centered on S1 of the Q-pterin which may be no longer coordinated to the Mo ion in the fully reduced structure. The ability to add one or more electrons to the Mo ion or the pterin suggests that the Q-pterin is involved in electron transfer between the native electron donor, cytochrome cdmso and MoCo in DMSO reductase. This hypothesis is strengthened by our observation of different redox states (fully oxidized and reduced) for the two pterins.
