A theoretical analysis of the X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra at the Cu K-edge in several divalent copper [Cu(II)] compounds showing a distorted nearest-neighborhood around copper is presented. The experimental spectra of CuO and KCuF3 have been compared with computations performed in the framework of the multiple-scattering...

This work reports a theoretical study of the x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra at the Cu K edge in several Cu(II) complexes with N -coordinating ligands showing a square-planar arrangement around metal cation. It is shown that single-channel multiple-scattering calculations are not able to reproduce the experimental spectra. The...

Identifying the factors that govern the thermal resistance of cupredoxins is essential for understanding their folding and stability, and for improving our ability to design highly stable enzymes with potential biotechnological applications. Here, we show that the thermal unfolding of plastocyanins from two cyanobacteria—the mesophilic...
