The cryo-EM structure of a natural AlkB–AlkG fusion from Fontimonas thermophila reveals the mechanistic basis for its selectivity towards, and functionalization of, alkane terminal C–H groups. AlkB contains an alkane entry tunnel and a diiron active site, and AlkG docks through electrostatic interactions and transfers electrons to the diiron center for catalysis.
