Elucidating the mechanism for the reduction of nitrite by copper nitrite reductase--a contribution from quantum chemical studies

Density functional methods have been applied to investigate the properties of the active site of copper-containing nitrite reductases and possible reaction mechanisms for the enzyme catalysis. The results for a model of the active site indicate that a hydroxyl intermediate is not formed during the c...
