Radical oxygenase observed in aerobic cells

These researchers have discovered that a radical S-adenosylmethionine oxygenase operates in aerobic cells, and not only in anaerobic environments. This process was observed in “a ribosomally synthesized, post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP),” darobactin A.
