Figure 45.
Spectral changes during hydrolysis of imipenem by bi-Co(II) BcII, monitored by stopped-flow absorbance meassurements. The absorption at 408 nm is due to the anionic intermediate, obscuring the Cys-Co(II) LMCT band. The inset shows changes in the ligand field band during turnover, that reveal modifications in geometry of the Co(II) center.
