Model studies on the active site of cytochrome P-450 : an FeII–porphyrin carrying a strapped thiolate ligand
Abstract
An FeII–porphyrin has been synthesised with a strap carrying a thiolate residue covalently bound across one face of the macrocycle; the spectroscopic properties of the carbon monoxide complex of this model system closely match those of the CO-complex of cytochrome P-450.
