Two new artificial hemoproteins or "hemozymes", obtained by non covalent insertion of Fe(III)-meso-tetra-p-carboxy- and -p-sulfonato-phenylporphyrin into xylanase A from Streptomyces lividans, were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy and molecular modeling studies, and were found to catalyze the chemo- and stereoselective oxidation

The mechanism of sulfoxidation of thioaniosoles by a non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complex is switched from direct oxygen transfer to metal ion-coupled electron transfer by the presence of Sc(3+). The switch in the sulfoxidation mechanism is dependent on the one-electron oxidation potentials

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), (14)(14), 1665-1667 (2008-03-28)
We demonstrate that incorporation of MnSalen into a protein scaffold enhances the chemoselectivity in sulfoxidation of thioanisole and find that both the polarity and hydrogen bonding of the protein scaffold play an important role in tuning the chemoselectivity.
