Abstract:Bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) is an enzyme that regulates cellular pH by catalyzing CO 2 hydration. In this work, we used its well-defined zinc-containing active site to host a series of four sulfonamide-functionalized ruthenium-based water oxidation catalysts Ru1 to Ru4, thereby producing four BCA-Ru1 to BCA-Ru4 artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs). The four ruthenium complexes differed either by the nature of the spectator ligand (bda 2− or tda 2− ) bound to the catalytic center or by the length of the linker … Show more
