A longstanding research goal has been to understand the nature and role of copper–oxygen
intermediates within copper-containing enzymes and abiological catalysts. Synthetic …

On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Due to environmentally friendly operation and on-site productivity, electrocatalytic singlet
oxygen (1O2) production via O2 gas is of immense interest in environment purification …

Copper ions exchanged into zeolites are active for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of
nitrogen oxides (NO x) with ammonia (NH3), but the low-temperature rate dependence on …

The relationships among the macroscopic compositional parameters of a Cu-exchanged
SSZ-13 zeolite catalyst, the types and numbers of Cu active sites, and activity for the …

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is an integral membrane metalloenzyme that
catalyses the conversion of methane to methanol. Knowledge of how pMMO performs this …

The electrochemistry of some copper-containing proteins and enzymes, viz. azurin,
galactose oxidase, tyrosinase (catechol oxidase), and the “blue” multicopper oxidases …

Dinuclear alkynyl copper (I) complexes exhibit superior reactivity toward organic azides
compared to their monomeric analogues. DFT studies indicate that the second copper …

Definition Metal ions play several major roles in proteins: structural, regulatory, and
enzymatic. The binding of some metal ions increase stability of proteins or protein domains …

Mononuclear species derived from copper (I) and dioxygen such as cupric superoxide CuII
(O2CÀ), cupric hydroperoxide CuII (OOHÀ), or even high-valent copper oxo species have all …
