Mono- and binuclear non-heme iron chemistry from a theoretical perspective

Dioxygen Activation by Enzymes Containing Binuclear Non-Heme Iron Clusters.

features of short story in translated and non-translated literature: a polysystemic perspective

ترجمه متون ادبی در دنیای امروز از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. فرهنگ های مختلف با استفاده از متون ادبی ملل و فرهنگ های دیگر سعی در غنی کردن فرهنگ و ادبیات کشور خود دارند. کشور ما نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نیست. در ایران، ترجمه متون ادبی اروپائی که با دوران مشروطه ایرانی آغاز می شود موجب تغییرات اساسی در فرهنگ، شیوه زندگی و تفکر ایرانیان شده است. در این دوران نه تنها در امورات سیاسی و فکری کشور تغی...

Modeling non-heme iron proteins.

Synthetic modeling studies of non-heme iron proteins continue to contribute to our understanding of the mechanism of these proteins. Recently, mononuclear Fe(IV)=O complexes have been prepared and characterized to model the same species that are proposed to be the reactive intermediates in reactions involving mononuclear non-heme iron proteins. Generation of such species for the oxidation of or...

Engineering Non-Heme Mono- and Dioxygenases for Biocatalysis

Oxygenases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the introduction of one or two oxygen atoms to unreactive chemical compounds. They require reduction equivalents from NADH or NADPH and comprise metal ions, metal ion complexes, or coenzymes in their active site. Thus, for industrial purposes, oxygenases are most commonly employed using whole cell catalysis, to alleviate the need for co-factor reg...

Dioxygen Activation by a Non-Heme Iron(II) Complex: Theoretical Study toward Understanding Ferric-Superoxo Complexes.

We present a systematic study using density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster (CCSD(T)) computations with an aim of characterizing a non-heme ferric-superoxo complex [(TMC)Fe(O2)](2+) (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) that was proposed to perform allylic C-H activation of cyclohexene (Lee, Y.-M. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2010, 132, 10668). As such, we invest...
