Note that an earlier study on enzyme prepared using a different purifation method gave quite different EXAFS results [Cramer, S. P.; Solmonson, L. P.; Adams, M. W. W.; Mortenson, L. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 106, 1467-1471]. The earlier study reported long-distance interactions to an unknown scatterer at about 2.7 Å, and it seems likely that the active site can adopt at least two different structures.

47. While molybdenum cis di-oxo enzymes such as sulfite oxidase may indeed function by oxo transfer, there is some doubt about the molybdenum hydroxylases such as xanthine oxidase which contain molybdenum oxothiolato active sites. For these enzymes such a mechanism would involve breaking of the strong Mo=O bond, and destabilization of this by Mo=S (as opposed to another Mo=O) is likely to be subtle at best. While concrete evidence does exist for catalytic oxygen exchange with a solvent-exchangeable water in xanthine oxidase [see: Hille, R.: Sprecher, H. J. Biol. Chem. 1987, 262, 10914-10917]; however, direct evidence for a Mo=O transfer mechanism in the molybdenum hydroxylases is lacking.
