Abstract
Profound insights into the catalytic mechanism of galactose oxidase (GO) are offered by new models of the active form of the metalloenzyme. The important role of the Cu(II) center in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by the Cu(II)-phenoxyl radical complex of ligand 1 has been revealed by comparison with the reactivity of the corresponding Zn(II)-phenoxyl radical complex; py=2-pyridyl.Entities:
