dc.description.abstractNickel superoxide dismutase (Ni-SOD) catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, but the overall reaction mechanism has yet to be determined. Peptide-based models of the 2N:2S nickel coordination sphere of Ni-SOD have provided some insight into the mechanism of this enzyme. Here we show that the coordination sphere of Ni-SOD can be mimicked using the tripeptide asparagine-cysteine-cysteine (NCC). NCC binds nickel with extremely high affinity at physiological pH with 2N:2S geometry, as demonstrated by electronic absorption and circular dichroism (CD) data. Like Ni-SOD, Ni-NCC has mixed amine/amide ligation that favors metal-based oxidation over ligand-based oxidation. Electronic absorption, CD, and magnetic CD data (MCD) collected for Ni-NCC are consistent with a diamagnetic Ni(II) center bound in square planar geometry. Ni-NCC is quasi-reversibly oxidized with a midpoint potential of 0.72(2) V (versus Ag/AgCl) and breaks down superoxide in an enzyme-based assay, supporting its potential use as a model for Ni-SOD chemistry.en_US
