Copper(II) complexes with Fusobacterium nucleatum adhesin FadA: Coordination pattern, physicochemical properties and reactivity

The coordination of ATDAAS-NH2 and MKKFL-NH2 fragments of Fusobacterium adhesin A (FadA) to copper(II) ions was studied by experimental and computational methods. Moreover, the studies confirmed the production of reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical and singlet oxygen.80
