Oxygen sensitivity of [FeFe]-hydrogenase: a comparative study of active site mimics inside vs. outside the enzyme

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.: Joint publication RESOLV members Prof. U-P. Apfel and Prof. T. Happe.

[FeFe]-hydrogenase is nature's most efficient proton reducing and H2-oxidizing enzyme. However, biotechnological applications are hampered by the O2 sensitivity of this metalloenzyme, and the mechanism of aerobic deactivation is not well understood. Here, we explore the oxygen sensitivity of four…

Vibrational Circular Dichroism of a Chiral Triplet Nitrene Investigated Under Matrix-Isolation Conditions in Parahydrogen

 

Chem. Eur. J.: Joint publication Prof. C. Merten and Prof. W. Sander.

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of chiral high-spin organic radicals are expected to show a strong intensity enhancement and are thought to be difficult to predict using state-of-the-art theoretical methods. Herein we show that the chiral triplet nitrene obtained from photochemical cleavage of N2 from enantiopure…
