A magnetic and electronic circular dichroism study of azurin, plastocyanin, cucumber basic protein, and nitrite reductase based on time-dependent density functional theory calculations.
The excitation, circular dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of small models of four blue copper proteins are simulated on the TDDFT/BP86 level. X-Ray diffraction geometries are used for the modeling of the blue copper sites in azurin, plastocyanin, cucumber basic protein, and nitrite reductase… (More)
