During glucose fermentation, Escherichia coli and many other microorganisms employ the glycyl radical enzyme (GRE) pyruvate formate-lyase (Pfl to catalyze the coenzyme A-dependent cleavage of pyruvate to formate and acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). Due to its extreme reactivity, the radical in PflB must be controlled carefully and, once generated, is particularly susceptible to dioxygen. Exposure to oxygen of the radical on glycine residue 734 of PflB results in cleavage of the polypeptide chain and consequent inactivation of the enzyme. Two
