Innenrücktitelbild: Non-Covalent and Covalent Binding of New Mixed-Valence Cage-like Polyoxidovanadate Clusters to Lysozyme (Angew. Chem. 31/2024)
First published: 09 July 2024
Graphical Abstract
In the presence of lysozyme , the potential drug [VIVO(acetylacetonato)2] undergoes ligand exchange and partial oxidation of VIV to VV producing unexpected mixed-valence polyoxidovanadates. Eugenio Garribba, Antonello Merlino et al. report in this Communication (e202406669) the X-ray structures of three mixed-valence species: [V15O36(OH2)]5−, which interacts non-covalently with the protein, and [V15O33(OH2)]+ and [V20O51(OH2)]n−, which are covalently bound.
