The cytochrome P450 OleT catalyzes the H2O2-dependent conversion of fatty acids to 1-olefins and carbon dioxide. The atypical nature of this reaction, coupled with its potential for sustainable fuel synthesis, has generated a great deal of interest since its discovery. The intriguing molecular mechanism of OleT and its potential for fungible fuel production is reviewed, revealing an interesting deviation from the activated oxygen-rebound chemistry that is common to most P450 monooxygenases.
