Non-heme iron enzymes promote a number of important biological reactions, including
serotonin, 1 leukotreine, 2 and DNA3 synthesis. Most mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes …

In a series of notable manuscripts in the early 1960s, Daryle H. Busch and co-workers
described reactions of coordinated ligands, particularly choosing mercaptoamines (NS) to …

A new alkylthiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex, FeII (BNPAMe2S) Br (1), is reported.
Reaction of 1 with O2 at− 40° C, or reaction of the ferric form with O2•–at− 80° C, gives a rare …

Abstract [NiFe] hydrogenases catalyze the reversible heterolytic cleavage of molecular
hydrogen. Several oxidized, inactive states of these enzymes are known that are …

The iron-containing nitrile hydratase (NHase) is a photoreactive enzyme that is inactivated in
the dark because of persistent association with NO and activated by photo-dissociation of …

We disclose a suite of Ni (II) complexes featuring secondary sphere Lewis acids of varied
Lewis acidity and tether lengths. Several of these complexes feature atypical behavior of Ni …

The violet color of Pt (bpy)(bdt)(bpy= 2, 2 '-bipyridine; bdt= 1, 2-benzenedithiolate) is due to
a Pt/S→ diimine charge-transfer transition; the emission originates from the corresponding …

The organometallic anticancer complex [(η 6-bip) Ru (en) Cl]+(1; bip= biphenyl, en=
ethylenediamine) selectively binds to guanine (N7) bases of DNA (Novakova, O.; Chen, H.; …

In this review a historic overview is given of the biomimetic models synthesised since the
presence of nickel in hydrogenases was first reported in 1981. The crystal structure of the …

The Ada protein of Escherichia coli employs a [Zn (S-cys) 4] 2-site to repair deoxyribonucleic
acid alkyl phosphotriester lesions. The alkyl group is transferred to a cysteine thiolate in a …
