Abstract excerpt
To demonstrate protein modulation of metal-cofactor reactivity through noncovalent interactions, pH-dependent sulfoxidation and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) oxidation reactivity of a designed myoglobin (Mb) containing non-native Mn-salen complex (1) was investigated using H2O2 as the oxidant. Incorporation of 1 inside the Mb resulted in an increase in the turnover numbers through...
