Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze the degradation of recalcitrant
carbohydrate polysaccharide substrates. These enzymes are characterized by a …

The development of (bio) catalysts capable of selectively activating strong C–H bonds is a
continuing challenge in modern chemistry. In both metalloenzymes and synthetic systems …

A series of organometallic copper complexes in formal oxidation states ranging from+ 1 to+
3 have been characterized by a combination of Cu K-edge X-ray absorption (XAS) and Cu …

The copper‐dependent formylglycine‐generating enzyme (FGE) catalyzes the oxygen‐
dependent oxidation of specific peptidyl‐cysteine residues to formylglycine. Our QM/MM …

A series of Cu (I) complexes of bidentate or tetradentate Schiff base ligands bearing either 1‐
H‐imidazole or pyridine moieties were synthesized. The complexes were studied by a …

Valence-to-core (VtC) X-ray emission spectroscopy offers the opportunity to probe the
valence electronic structure of a system filtered by selection rules. From this, the nature of its …

This study investigates the influence of ligand charge on transition energies in a series of
CuN2S2 complexes based on dithiocarbazate Schiff base ligands using Cu K-edge X-ray …

A series of β-diketiminate Ni–NO complexes with a range of NO binding modes and
oxidation states were studied by X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES). The results …

Cu-exchanged zeolite is an efficient catalyst to remove harmful nitrogen oxides from diesel
exhaust gas through the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. The SCR performance …

Eliminating the harmful NOx, which is the major pollutant in the exhaust gas of diesel
engines, has long been the pursue of scientists. Cu-chabazite (Cu-CHA) zeolites system …
