Electrostatic regulation of blue copper sites
Daniel Bím, Anastassia N. Alexandrova
Abstract
Intramolecular electric fields in blue copper proteins are oriented in a fixed way to modulate properties of their copper sites: they control the first-shell copper interactions to influence geometric, spectroscopic, and redox behavior.
