Exploring biological functionality Enzymes –Complex systems that often contain metals at active site –Metals are particularly import for redox enzymes Bio-inorganic chemistry –Synthesis of model compounds

The biological nitrogen cycle

Nitrogenase Nitrogenase consists of 2 proteins: dinitrogenase reductase and dinitrogenase Overall reaction dinitrogenase reductase dinitrogenase 16 ATP required for each reduction of N 2 -> 2 NH 3

Some bacteria fix nitrogen only when involved in a symbiotic relationship with plants

Leghemoglobin protects nitrogenase by binding oxygen A true cross-species collaboration: Plant makes the globin protein and bacterium makes the heme cofactor

Industrial Haber process (N 2 -> NH 3 ) T = °C p = atm

Dinitrogenase model compound

Oxygen binding in body

You will make model compound, Co(salen) Co(salen) can bind oxygen, just like the biological heme molecule

Oxygen binding depends on Co environment Co(salen) exists with Co in a 4, 5, or 6 coordinate site Solvated Co(salen) only binds O 2 when it is 5 or 6 coordinate In crystals: Solvated:
