Copper is well known as a biochemically essential transition element. Attributable to both its kinetic and redox activities, it plays a key role in electron transfer reactions. In-vivo oxygen chemistry is dependent on and regulated by copper proteins: all reduction states of dioxygen are connected with copper proteins and related copper compounds (Figure 1).
