New clothes for Mn 3+ : Aerobic alkene cleavage of styrene‐type substrates by Trametes hirsuta is attributed to an enzyme that is dependent on manganese in oxidation state three. The enzyme has a proteinase backbone and binds Mn 3+ exclusively via oxygen atoms, in contrast to all known Mn 3+ enzymes.
