Electron Transfer Reactions of Copper Proteins

Abstract

Copper proteins are a widespread and diverse class, isolated from plant, animal, bacterial, and fungal sources (1, 1a). The proteins considered here are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, either as oxidoreductases or as electron carriers; other functions of copper proteins include metal ion storage and oxygen transport.
