Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...

Outer‐Sphere Tuning of Synthetic Iron–Sulfur Clusters Within Nanoscale Cage Frameworks

Small, EarlyView.
Noncovalent encapsulation of a synthetic iron–sulfur cluster within hydrophobic, naphthalenediimide (NDI)‐paneled cages is shown to lead to dramatic changes in the electronic structure and covalency of the Fe─S core. ABSTRACT As atomic‐scale archetypes for multi‐electron transfer, iron–sulfur clusters are compelling candidates for the design of redox ...
