要旨

The active core of the enzyme methane mono-oxygenase (MMO) contains an iron (or copper) dimer with histidine and glutamic acid ligands located on a His-x-x-Glu sequence of the peptide chain. We mimicked the active core of MMO by immobilising the His-Gly-Gly-Glu motif on a silica support, using the methods of solid phase peptide synthesis, and by allowing complexes with Cu and Fe cations to self-assemble. The dominating mode of coordination in the complexes was elucidated by a group fitting analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra. The complexation of the metal cations by the short peptide significantly changed (improved) their catalytic properties in the oxidation of cyclohexane by H2O2 or by 3-chloro-perbenzoic acid.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
