The effects of metal cofactors on the reactivity of quercetin 2,4-dioxygenase: synthetic model studies with M(ii)-complexes (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) and assessment of the regulatory factors in catalytic efficacy

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the metal ion effects on the dioxygenation of flavonol catalysed by M(ii)-complexes (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) as functional models of quercetin 2,4-dioxygenase-like reactivity.
