Abstract
Two resins with the hydroxamic acid siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) immobilised as a free ligand or its Fe(iii) complex were prepared to screen the Streptomyces pilosus proteome for proteins involved in siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake. The resin design included a disulfide bond to enable the release of bound proteins under mild reducing conditions. Proteomics analysis of the bound fractions did not identify proteins associated with siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake, but identified nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD), which was enriched on the apo-DFOB-resin but not the Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the control resin. While DFOB is unable to sequester Fe(iii) from sites deeply buried in metalloproteins, the coordinatively unsaturated Ni(ii) ion in NiSOD is present in a surface-exposed loop region at the N-terminus, which might enable partial chelation. The results were consistent with the notion that the apo-DFOB-resin formed a ternary complex with NiSOD, which was not possible for either the coordinatively saturated Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the non-coordinating control resin systems. In support, ESI-TOF-MS measurements from a solution of a model Ni(ii)-SOD peptide and DFOB showed signals that correlated with a ternary Ni(ii)-SOD peptide-DFOB complex. Although any biological implications of a DFOB-NiSOD complex are unclear, the work shows that the metal coordination properties of siderophores might influence an array of metal-dependent biological processes beyond those established in iron uptake.

Abstract
The cellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has to be controlled to avoid some pathologies, especially those linked to oxidative stress. One strategy for designing antioxidants consists of modeling natural enzymes involved in ROS degradation. Among them, nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical anion, O2•-, into O2 and H2O2. We report here Ni complexes with tripeptides derived from the amino-terminal CuII- and NiII-binding (ATCUN) motif that mimics some structural features found in the active site of the NiSOD. A series of six mononuclear NiII complexes were investigated in water at physiological pH with different first coordination spheres, from compounds with a N3S to N2S2 set, and also complexes that are in equilibrium between the N-coordination (N3S) and S-coordination (N2S2). They were fully characterized by a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including 1H NMR, UV-vis, circular dichroism, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, together with theoretical calculations and their redox properties studied by cyclic voltammetry. They all display SOD-like activity, with a kcat ranging between 0.5 and 2.0 × 106 M-1 s-1. The complexes in which the two coordination modes are in equilibrium are the most efficient, suggesting a beneficial effect of a nearby proton relay.

Abstract
Nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) is an enzyme that protects cells against O2·-. While the structure of its active site is known, the mechanism of the catalytic cycle is still not elucidated. Its active site displays a square planar NiII center with two thiolates, the terminal amine and an amidate. We report here a bioinspired NiII complex built on an ATCUN-like binding motif modulated with one cysteine, which demonstrates catalytic SOD activity in water (kcat = 8.4(2) × 105 M-1 s-1 at pH = 8.1). Its reactivity with O2·- was also studied in acetonitrile allowing trapping two different short-lived species that were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance or spectroelectrochemistry and a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations. Based on these observations, we propose that O2·- interacts first with the complex outer sphere through a H-bond with the peptide scaffold in a [NiIIO2·-] species. This first species could then evolve into a NiIII hydroperoxo inner sphere species through a reaction driven by protonation that is thermodynamically highly favored according to DFT calculations.

Abstract
Biological systems provide attractive reactivity blueprints for the design of challenging chemical transformations. Emulating the operating mode of natural systems may however not be so easy and direct translation of structural observations does not always afford the anticipated efficiency. Metalloenzymes rely on earth-abundant metals to perform an incredibly wide range of chemical transformations. To do so, enzymes in general have evolved tools and tricks to enable control of such reactivity. The underlying concepts related to these tools are usually well-known to enzymologists and bio(inorganic) chemists but may be a little less familiar to organometallic chemists. So far, the field of bioinspired catalysis has greatly focused on the coordination sphere and electronic effects for the design of functional enzyme models but might benefit from a paradigm shift related to recent findings in biological systems. The goal of this review is to bring these fields closer together as this could likely result in the development of a new generation of highly efficient bioinspired systems. This contribution covers the fields of redox-active ligands, entatic state reactivity, energy conservation through electron bifurcation, and quantum tunneling for C-H activation.

Abstract
Nickel(ii) complexes of peptides CSSACS-NH2, ACSSACS-NH2, SSCSSACS-NH2 and GACAAH-NH2 have been studied by potentiometric and various spectroscopic (UV-vis, CD, NMR, and ESI-MS) techniques. All peptides have high nickel(ii) binding ability in the form of square planar complexes and the stability order of the peptides is: CSSACS-NH2 > ACSSACS-NH2 > SSCSSACS-NH2 ∼ GACAAH-NH2. The different metal binding affinities of these peptides are related to the differences in the speciation and in the binding modes of the major species. An almost exclusive formation of bis(ligand) complexes via an (NH2,S-) 5-membered chelate from the amino terminus is characteristic of CSSACS-NH2. The (NH2,N-,S-) tridentate chelate is the major coordination mode of ACSSACS-NH2 but the distant cysteine can also contribute to metal binding. The higher nickel(ii) binding ability of AC[combining low line]SSAC[combining low line]S-NH2 relative to the peptides containing an N-terminal XY-Cys motif may have important biological consequences. For example, the occurrence of the (NH2,N-,S-,S-) donor set is a common feature of both the ACSSACS-NH2 ligand and the nickel(ii) binding loop of the NiSOD enzyme (HC[combining low line]DLPC[combining low line]G…..,). In the case of SSCSSACS-NH2 and GACAAH-NH2 the amino terminus of one peptide can completely saturate the coordination sphere of the nickel(ii) ion via the formation of the (NH2,N-,N-,S-) binding mode. This rules out the formation of bis(ligand) complexes and any contribution of the distant cysteine or histidine to nickel(ii) binding in the 1 : 1 complexes. On the other hand the distant cysteine of SSCSSACS-NH2 and histidine of GACAAH-NH2 can behave as independent metal binding sites for the formation of dinuclear complexes in the presence of excess metal ions.

Abstract
The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of mononuclear NiII complexes, whose structures are inspired by the NiSOD, has been investigated. They have been designed with a sulfur-rich pseudopeptide ligand, derived from nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), where the three acid functions are grafted with cysteines (L3S). Two mononuclear complexes, which exist in pH-dependent proportions, have been fully characterized by a combination of spectroscopic techniques including 1H NMR, UV-vis, circular dichroism, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, together with theoretical calculations. They display similar square-planar S3O coordination, with the three thiolates of the three cysteine moieties from L3S coordinated to the NiII ion, together with either a water molecule at physiological pH, as [NiL3S(OH2)]-, or a hydroxo ion in more basic conditions, as [NiL3S(OH)]2-. The 1H NMR study has revealed that contrary to the hydroxo ligand, the bound water molecule is labile. The cyclic voltammogram of both complexes displays an irreversible one-electron oxidation process assigned to the NiII/NiIII redox system with Epa = 0.48 and 0.31 V versus SCE for NiL3S(OH2) and NiL3S(OH), respectively. The SOD activity of both complexes has been tested. On the basis of the xanthine oxidase assay, an IC50 of about 1 μM has been measured at pH 7.4, where NiL3S(OH2) is mainly present (93% of the NiII species), while the IC50 is larger than 100 μM at pH 9.6, where NiL3S(OH) is the major species (92% of the NiII species). Interestingly, only NiL3S(OH2) displays SOD activity, suggesting that the presence of a labile ligand is required. The SOD activity has been also evaluated under catalytic conditions at pH 7.75, where the ratio between NiL3S(OH2)/ NiL3S(OH) is about (86:14), and a rate constant, kcat = 1.8 × 105 M-1 s-1, has been measured. NiL3S(OH2) is thus the first low-molecular weight, synthetic, bioinspired Ni complex that displays catalytic SOD activity in water at physiological pH, although it does not contain any N-donor ligand in its first coordination sphere, as in the NiSOD. Overall, the data show that a key structural feature is the presence of a labile ligand in the coordination sphere of the NiII ion.

Abstract
A disulfide-bridged peptide containing two Ni2+ binding sites based on the nickel superoxide dismutase protein, {Ni2(SODmds)}, has been prepared. At physiological pH (7.4) it was found that the metal sites are mononuclear with a square planar NOS2 coordination environment with the two sulfur-based ligands derived from cysteinate residues, the nitrogen ligand derived from the amide backbone and a water ligand. Furthermore, S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicated that the two cysteinate sulfur atoms ligated to nickel are each protonated. Elevation of the pH to 9.6 results in the deprotonation of the cysteinate sulfur atoms, and yields a binuclear, cysteinate bridged Ni22+ center with each nickel contained in a distorted square planar geometry. At both pH = 7.4 and 9.6 the nickel sites are moderately air sensitive, yielding intractable oxidation products. However, at pH = 9.6 {Ni2(SODmds)} reacts with O2 at an ~3.5-fold faster rate than at pH = 7.4. Electronic structure calculations indicate the reduced reactivity at pH = 7.4 is a result of a reduction in S(3p) character and deactivation of the nucleophilic frontier molecular orbitals upon cysteinate sulfur protonation.
