On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Quinones are common stoichiometric reagents in organic chemistry. Para‐quinones with
high reduction potentials, such as DDQ and chloranil, are widely used and typically promote …

In this review, our basic and most recent understanding of copper biochemistry and

Quinones are ubiquitous in nature and constitute an important class of naturally occurring
compounds that are found in plants, fungi, and bacteria and that function primarily as …

Biocatalysis is an enabling technology adding to organic oxidation chemistry. Especially the
high selectivity of enzymatic oxidation coevally operating under mild conditions and not …

Copper is an important element in oxidation catalysts for laboratory and industrial use.
Aerobic oxidation of 2, 6-xylenol with copper (I) in the presence of a N-donor ligand such as …

Tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of phenols and catechols (o-diphenols) to o-quinones.
The reactivities of o-quinones thus generated are responsible for oxidative browning of plant …

Although the number of proteins that utilize copper as an essential cofactor is not
exceptionally large, the roles played by many of these proteins appear central to the success …

Knowledge regarding the steps and mechanisms related to the intra‐and interchain cross‐
linking of collagen and elastin has evolved steadily during the past 30 years. Recently, effort …
