Dirhodium Tetraacetate Binding to Lysozyme at Body Temperature

  • Gabriella Tito,
  • Giarita Ferraro and
  • Antonello Merlino

Paddlewheel dirhodium complexes are cytotoxic compounds that are also used as catalysts and in the formation of Rh-based artificial metalloenzymes. Low-temperature structures of adducts formed by the model protein hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) with d...

  • Antonello Merlino

2 February 2021

The structures of the adducts formed upon reaction of the cytotoxic paddlewheel dirhodium complex [Rh2(μ-O2CCH3)4] with the model protein hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) under different experimental conditions are reported. Results indicate that [Rh2(μ...
