This Dalton Transactions Hot article explores metalloligands inspired by the active site of enzymes.
Marcetta Y. Darensbourg and colleagues from Texas A& M University, look at NiFe-heterobimetallic complexes, and their bonding and structure, to increase their understanding of the features of natural bimetallic sites in enzymes.
