The goal is to use these complexes to improve proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $539,215 Project Grant to The Ohio State University. The grant, effective September 1, 2025, supports Dr. Shiyu Zhang's research into the mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in multicopper oxidase (MCO) enzymes. The research aims to develop synthetic chemical models that mimic the complex trinuclear copper active site in MCOs, in order to better understand how these enzymes efficiently convert oxygen to water. The project will train graduate students in specialized techniques like synthetic inorganic chemistry and spectroscopy, and integrate an outreach program to engage middle school students. The insights gained from this fundamental research could have applications in biology and energy technologies that utilize ORR processes.
