Carbene in cupredoxin protein scaffolds: replacement of a histidine ligand in the active site substantially alters copper redox properties

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have had a major impact in homogeneous catalysis, however, their potential role in biological systems is essentially unexplored. Here we replaced a copper-coordinating histidine (His) in the active site of azurin with exogenous dimethyl-imidazolylidene; this NHC...
