S. Nishino et al., Cleavage of the C-N bond of a peptide group by a copper(II)-peroxide adduct with an eta(1)-coordination mode, INORG CH C, 3(3), 2000, pp. 145-148
We have obtained clear evidence that a copper(II)-peroxide adduct with an e
ta(1)-coordination mode can cleave the C-N bond of a peptide group and hydr
oxylate the alkyl group nearby; this may provide helpful information for el
ucidation of the reaction mechanism of PAM, peptidylglycine alpha-amidating
monooxygenase. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
