Review of a Few Selected Examples of Intermolecular Dioxygenases Involving Molecular Oxygen and Non-Heme Iron Proteins

Molecular oxygen and non-heme iron proteins (NHIPs) are that have an atom bound to one or more atoms, found in bacteria, archaea, some eukaryotes. NHIPs involved a variety of biological processes, such as respiration, electron transfer, catalysis. They can be categorized into two classes: cytochrome proteins, which oxygenases, catalyze the oxidation substrates by utilizing molecular oxygen. critical for multiple their impairment has been associated with diseases anemia, cancer, neurological disorders.
