Electronic Structures of Active Sites in Copper Proteins: Coupled Binuclear and Trinuclear Cluster Sites

  • Chapter
Bioinorganic Chemistry of Copper

Abstract

It has now been ten years since a general review of our Group’s research in the field of copper proteins has been prepared.1 Over this period, our understanding of the electronic structure of the active sites in these proteins has strongly evolved, and is providing significant insight into the reactivity of these sites in biology. The first goal of my sabbatical was to generate an overview of our present understanding of this field, which has now appeared in Chemical Reviews 2 and will be summarized in two parts.3 Part I of this summary is being published as our contribution to the Proceedings of the International Conference on the Chemistry of the Copper and Zinc Triads, held in Edinburgh, Scotland July 13–16, 1992. Part II is submitted for the Proceedings of the Symposium on Copper Coordination Chemistry: Bioinorganic Perspectives, August 3–7, 1992.
