Abstract
Reaction of copper and of copper in presence of zinc with glycylglycin e H2Gg, H2NCH2CONHCH2COOH (in ratios 1:2 and 1: 1:2, respectively), an d an excess of hydrogen peroxide results in the formation of a novel p eroxy complex [Cu(O3-) (H-2Gg)2].2H2O and a mixed metal peroxo carbona te complex [Cu, Zn(O22-)(CO3)(H2O)4], respectively. A notable feature of the reaction is the facile decomposition of the peptide bond at roo m temperature on addition of zinc to the system.
