Structure and Chemistry of Cytochrome P450

TL;DR: This review will concentrate on findings with P-450cam of the Pseudomonas putida camphor-5-exo-hydroxylase, and attention will be drawn to parallel and contrasting examples from other P- 450s as appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerobic Copper-Catalyzed Organic Reactions

TL;DR: The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-Electron processes, which feature confer a remarkably broad range of activities allowing copper to catalyze the oxidation and oxidative union of many substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copper Active Sites in Biology

TL;DR: This review presents in depth discussions of all these classes of Cu enzymes and the correlations within and among these classes, as well as the present understanding of the enzymology, kinetics, geometric structures, electronic structures and the reaction mechanisms these have elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heme Enzyme Structure and Function

TL;DR: The role of heme in more active enzymatic chemical transformation began to be appreciated just after the discovery by Mason1 and Hayaishi2 that O2 O atoms can be enzymatically incorporated into organic substrates which represented the seminal discovery of oxygenases.
