Model systems for the CO-releasing flavonol 2,4-dioxygenase enzyme

In this review structural and reactivity studies on the co-ligand containing model complexes for the flavonol 2,4-dioxygenase (FDO) are covered. The main focus is on the relationship between the structural features of the copper-containing model complexes, and their activity in the enzyme-like reactions. Some radical initiated reactions and catalytic systems will also be discussed.
