Abstract
It is widely recognized that blue copper proteins function as electron-transfer agents in biological systems.(1-10) Plastocyanin, for example, which is one of the most thoroughly studied of all the blue copper proteins, is a key component of the electron-transfer apparatus in the chloroplasts of green leaves. In its oxidized form, here referred to as the Cu2 + state, it is intensely blue, because of 600 nm absorption attributable to charge transfer from a cysteine sulphur to the copper. The review by Sykes,(9) based on his Tilden Lecture, is an excellent place to read about the structure and properties of plastocyanin.
