The most successful decade.[8] The unique properties of metal corroles have now approach so far has been the exchange of heme in simple 49 advanced into topical fields like catalysis, photophysics, heme proteins, like myoglobin or horseradish peroxidase, 50 surface science, and others.[9] These metal chelates are for modified hemes or other porphyrins.[2] As the modified special with respect to their electronic structures[10] and – 51 metal porphyrins are structurally related to the natural heme often – the non-innocent behaviour of the organic ligands 52 group, novel reactivities may be introduced to the protein which tend to form radicals, stabilized by magnetic coupling 53 without significant changes at the active, heme binding to a coordinated metal centre.[11] During the course of our 54 pocket. In most cases, the propionate side chains have been studies on metal corroles[12] and on corrole-based 55 employed for the modification by substitution with different biohybrid systems the question arose whether the binding of 56 organic moieties, and new functionalities like protein- the metal corrole to histidine inside a heme apoprotein is 57 protein or protein-molecule recognition, electron transfer, or important for the stability of the compound. To probe this 58 increased chemical reactivity have been gained. Another question we thought to prepare a copper corrole 1 with 59 series of heme protein-hybrid compounds has been biomimetic propionate substitution (figure 2), which is 60 constructed using different metal porphyrinoids like devoid of any axial ligand binding capability, and study the phthalocyanines,[3] chlorins,[4] porphyrin isomers,[5] and conjugation of such a copper corrole to apomyoglobin. This other.[6] In particular iron chelates of the above paper reports the results of our study. macrocycles often have a profound impact on the affinity of 1 Wiley-VCH ZAAC Page 2 of 14 1 2 from those reported for other copper octaalkylcorroles in the 3 literature.[11c,14] Basically, this spectrum consists of two 4 major, broadened absorptions, a high-energy, so-called Soret -1 -1 5 Figure 2.
