Fluconazole does not pull Cu(I) away from the pre-formed
[CuI(BCA)2]3– complex
(a), or from the weaker pre-formed
[CuI(Fz)2]3- complex (b).
Presence of fluconazole in solution does not prevent formation of the
[CuI(Fz)2]3- complex (c).
CuCl2 was used as the source of Cu(II), and ascorbate was added
to generate Cu(I) in situ. Conditions: [BCA, Fz] = 100 µM,
[CuCl2] = 40 µM, [Ascorbate] = 1 mM, [FluC] = 1 mM in 50
mM HEPES, pH 7.4.
