4 Fe(2+) + O2 + 4 H(+) = 4 Fe(3+) + 2 H2O
4 Fe(2+) + O2 + 6 H2O = 4 iron(III) oxide-hydroxide + 12 H(+)
2 Fe(2+) + O2 + 4 H2O = 2 iron(III) oxide-hydroxide + H2O2 + 6 H(+)
2 reduced [flavodoxin] + heme b + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = anaerobilin + 2 oxidized [flavodoxin] + Fe(2+) + 5'-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
