Mechanism of NO Reduction by the μ-S Tetranuclear Cu Cluster of Nitrous Oxide Reductase.

Reaction thermodynamics and potential energy surfaces are calculated using density functional theory to investigate the mechanism of the reductive cleavage of the N-O bond by the μ-sulfide-bridged tetranuclear Cu site of nitrous oxide reductase. The Cu cluster provides an exogenous ligand-binding si...
