TL;DR: The structure, properties and a mechanism for the catecholase activity of a tetranuclear carbonato-bridged copper(II) cluster with the macrocyclic ligand with a carbonate anion are reported.

TL;DR: It is shown that spPAP contains a Fe(III)-Zn(II) center in the active site as previously determined for the purple acid phosphatase from red kidney bean (kbPAP), and an alignment of the amino acid sequences suggests that the residues involved in metal-binding are identical in both plant PAPs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an account of the current preparative and structural aspects of chalcogen-halide chemistry, focusing on the inorganic chemistry of the binary chlorides, bromides, and iodides as well as on corresponding hypervalent anionic and cationic halo derivatives; fluorides are referred to in only a few cases.

TL;DR: Primary structure predictions indicate that Uf contains two βαβαβ motifs thus resembling the folding topology of the plant enzyme, and a tentative model for the mammalian PAP can be constructed.
