Sc. Chang et al., A model complex of a possible intermediate in the mechanism of action of peptide deformylase: first example of an (N2S)zinc(II)-formate complex, CHEM COMMUN, (22), 2001, pp. 2396-2397
The synthesis and crystallographic characterization of a new (N2S) zinc-alk
yl complex and (N2S) zinc-formate complex is described; the bonding mode of
the formate complex has implications for the mechanism of action of the en
zyme peptide deformylase.
