The molecular mechanism of autoxidation for myoglobin and hemoglobin: a venerable puzzle

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to compare the autoxidation reaction of myoglobin and hemoglobin with synthetic iron(II) complexes. The study also analyzed the sphere electron transfer mechanism associated with the autoxidation reaction. Iron(II) cyclidene complexes were also structurally represented. Results indicated that the stabilization of molecular oxygen for transport and storage, and the oxygen activation utilized in terminal oxidation are interdependent.
