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(salicylaldehyde)ethyleendiimino]cobalt(II), afgekort [Co(salen)]2, is een organometaalcomplex dat wordt gebruikt om zuurstoftransporterende metalloproteïnen te onderzoeken.
Metalloproteïnen zoals hemoglobine kunnen reversibel O2 binden en om dit mechanisme te begrijpen, worden complexen zoals [Co(salen)]2 bestudeerd.
[Co(sa...
