✦ Synopsis


The presence of aminoacid external ligands (Cys and His) markedly increases the efficiency (in terms of reaction rate constant and turnover number) of the metalloporphyrin-reductant-molecular oxygen catalytic system in cholesterol oxidation reactions; in so doing, Cys contained systems are more active co-catalysts showing a pronounced maximum of concentration dependence profiles.
