Cobalt Complex Model for Oxygen Binding
Description
Bioinorganic chemistry studies how metals help living systems work. Many proteins contain metals, and some depend on metal-containing active sites to function. Proteins with metals are called metalloproteins. They help carry out important cell functions needed for life.
One major role of metallop...

[N,N'-Bis(salicilaldehído)etilendiimino]cobalto(II), abreviado [Co(salen)]2, es un complejo organometálico, que se utiliza para investigar metaloproteínas transportadoras de oxígeno.
Metaloproteínas como la hemoglobina pueden unirse reversiblemente al O2 y para entender este mecanismo, se estudian complejos como el [Co(salen)]2.
[Co(...
