Abstract
2-Ketoisovalerate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (VOR) is a key enzyme in hyperthermophiles catalyzing the coenzyme A-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of mainly aliphatic amino acid-derived 2-keto acids. The very oxygen-labile enzyme purified under anaerobic conditions from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus profundus, is a hetero-octamer (alphabetagammadelta)(2) consisting of four different subunits, alpha = 45,000, beta = 31,000, gamma = 22,000 and delta = 13,000, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance and resonance Raman spectra of the purified enzyme indicate the presence of approximately three [4Fe-4S] clusters per alphabetagammadelta-protomer, although one of the clusters has a tendency to be converted to a [3Fe-4S] form during purification. The optimal temperature for the enzyme activity is 93 +/- 2 degrees C and the cognate [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin serves as an electron acceptor of the enzyme. The purified enzyme is highly oxygen-labile (t(1/2), approximately 5 min at 25 degrees C), and is partly protected in the presence of magnesium ions, thiamine pyrophosphate and sodium chloride (t(1/2), approximately 25 min at 25 degrees C).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
