Abstract

A review. This Perspective describes the plausible oxidn. state combinations of Cun/Lm systems where Lm is an O- or N-based redox system with a paramagnetic intermediate such as O.bul.-2, NO.bul., phenoxyl, o-semiquinone or azo radical anion. The biochem. relevance is discussed using superoxide dismutase, nitrite reductase, galactose oxidase and amine oxidase enzyme examples. Particular emphasis will be given to the identification of oxidn. states and to the manifestations of intramol. electron transfer in enzymes and model compds. on SciFinder(R)
