1 Reversible uptake of molecular oxygen by heteroligand Co(II)-L-alpha-amino acid-imidazole systems: equilibrium models at full mass balance. Oxygen mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: The paper examines Co(II)-amino acid-imidazole systems (where amino acid = L-alpha-amino acid: alanine, asparagine, histidine) which, when in aqueous solutions, activate and reversibly take up dioxygen, while maintaining the structural scheme of the heme group (imidazole as axial ligand and O2 uptake at the sixth, trans position) thus imitating natural respiratory pigments such as myoglobin and hemoglobin. Oxygen mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
3 BACKGROUND: The paper examines Co(II)-amino acid-imidazole systems (where amino acid = L-alpha-amino acid: alanine, asparagine, histidine) which, when in aqueous solutions, activate and reversibly take up dioxygen, while maintaining the structural scheme of the heme group (imidazole as axial ligand and O2 uptake at the sixth, trans position) thus imitating natural respiratory pigments such as myoglobin and hemoglobin. Oxygen mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
4 RESULTS: Investigations of oxygenation of the Co(II)-amino acid-imidazole systems indicated that dioxygen uptake proceeds along with a rise in pH to 9-10. Oxygen mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: The Co(II)-amac-Himid systems formed by using a [Co(imid)2]n polymer as starting material demonstrate that the reversible uptake of molecular oxygen occurs by forming dimeric mu-peroxy adducts. Oxygen mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
