DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The research outlined in this proposal is aimed at understanding the fundamental chemistry taking place at the copper-centers of Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase and Peptideglycine alpha Hydroxylating Monooxygenase. Both enzymes contain two structurally isolated and spectroscopically distinct copper centers and catalyze the hydroxylation of hydrocarbon substrates using dioxygen as the sole oxidant. Synthetic models will be made to mimic both of these centers. One series of models that will be prepared is a mononuctear copper center aimed at mimicking the reactive properties of the metal-center that is proposed to be the site where hydrocarbon hydroxylation takes place through a supposed CuII-hydroperoxo intermediate. Studies will be performed to elucidate the mechanism of substrate oxidation by this copper-center mimic. Dinuclear models will be made containing mimics for both copper-cites, Studies with the dinuclear complexes will be aimed at understanding how the two centers work in concert to generate the CuII-hydroperoxo species.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案中概述的研究旨在了解多巴胺β羟化酶和肽甘氨酸α羟化单加氧酶的铜中心发生的基本化学。两种酶都含有两个结构上分离且光谱上不同的铜中心，并使用双氧作为唯一氧化剂催化烃底物的羟基化。将制作综合模型来模仿这两个中心。将准备的一系列模型是单核铜中心，旨在模拟金属中心的反应性质，该金属中心被认为是通过假定的 CuII-氢过氧中间体发生烃羟基化的位点。将进行研究以阐明这种铜中心模拟物的底物氧化机制。将制作包含两个铜位点模拟物的双核模型，对双核配合物的研究将旨在了解两个中心如何协同工作以生成 CuII-氢过氧物种。
