A Trispyrazolylborato Iron Cysteinato Complex as a Functional Model for the Cysteine Dioxygenase

Abstract

The natural paragon taken seriously: A trispyrazolylborato cysteinato iron complex not only excellently mimics the active site structure of cysteine dioxygenase (see picture: both structures superimposed): a dioxygenation of cysteinate occurs on treatment with O2, and hence, the system represents the hitherto most realistic model for cysteine dioxygenase.
