This work is building on the teams earlier investigations into ferrous and ferric complexes. The group will use their improved understanding of high valent iron intermediates to explain more about the behaviour of metalloproteins, and in this case they look at the heme active site of P450.
This paper is part of a themed issue guest edited by Stuart MacGregor (Heriot-Watt) on Computational Chemistry of Molecular Inorganic Systems that will be published online in the next few weeks. Make sure you hear about it by signing up to the Dalton Transactions table of contents e-alerts.
