Rational Construction of an Artificial Binuclear Copper Monooxygenase in a Metal-Organic Framework

Xuanyu Feng et al.

Summary: A novel strategy for constructing an artificial binuclear copper monooxygenase starting from a Ti metal-organic framework was reported. Experimental and computational studies showed that the enzyme exhibited outstanding catalytic activity in monoxygenation processes and significantly higher activity compared to a mononuclear copper monooxygenase. This was attributed to the cooperative stabilization of Cu-O-2 adduct by Cu-2 sites, leading to a lower free energy increase for O-O bond cleavage.
