Journal ArticleDOI
The solution structure of [Cu(aq)]2+ and its implications for rack-induced bonding in blue copper protein active sites.
Patrick Frank,Maurizio Benfatto,Robert K. Szilagyi,Paola D'Angelo,Stefano Della Longa,Keith O. Hodgson +5 more
TL;DR: The irregular geometry and D2d-distorted equatorial ligand set sustained by unconstrained [Cu(H2O)5]2+ warrants caution in drawing conclusions regarding structural preferences from small molecule crystal structures and raises questions about the site-structural basis of the rack-induced bonding hypothesis of blue copper proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pentacoordinate Hemin Derivatives in Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Micelles: Model Systems for the Assignment of the Fifth Ligand in Ferric Heme Proteins
TL;DR: The present assignments are relevant to the identification of the coordination state and the nature of the fifth ligand in ferric heme proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for sevenfold coordination in the first solvation shell of Hg(II) aqua ion.
Giovanni Chillemi,Giordano Mancini,Nico Sanna,Vincenzo Barone,Stefano Della Longa,M. Benfatto,Nicolae Viorel Pavel,Paola D'Angelo +7 more
TL;DR: A quite unexpected sevenfold coordination of the hydrated Hg(II) complex in aqueous solution is revealed by an extensive study combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and quantum mechanics/molecular dynamics (QM/MD) calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full quantitative multiple-scattering analysis of X-ray absorption spectra: application to potassium hexacyanoferrat(II) and -(III) complexes.
Kuniko Hayakawa,Keisuke Hatada,Paola D'Angelo,Stefano Della Longa,Calogero R. Natoli,M. Benfatto +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the whole energy range of the XAS spectra has been found to be useful in elucidating both the type of ligands and the geometry of iron sites, of particular use in studying the geometrical environment of metallic sites in proteins and complexes of chemical interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray structure analysis of a metalloprotein with enhanced active-site resolution using in situ x-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy
Alessandro Arcovito,Maurizio Benfatto,Michele Cianci,S. Samar Hasnain,Karin Nienhaus,G. Ulrich Nienhaus,Carmelinda Savino,Richard W. Strange,Beatrice Vallone,Stefano Della Longa +9 more
TL;DR: By combining XANES and x-ray diffraction, this work achieves an cyanomet sperm whale myoglobin structural model with a higher precision of the bond lengths and angles at the active site than would have been possible with crystallographic analysis alone.
