Abstract
Two new heteroleptic indium aminothiolate compounds [InClSC2H4N(Me)SC2H4]3[1] and [InSC2H4N(Me)SC2H4(C8H5F3NO)] [2] were synthesized by in situ salt metathesis reaction involving indium trichloride, aminothiol, and N,O-β-heteroarylalkenol ligands. The complexes were subsequently purified and thoroughly characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, elemental studies, mass spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction single crystal analysis that showed a trigonal bipyramidal coordination of In(III) in both complexes. Thermogravimetric analysis of [1] revealed a multistep decomposition pathway and the formation of In2S3 at 350 °C, which differed from the pattern of [2] due to the lower thermal stability of [1]. Compound [2] exhibited a three-step decomposition process, resulting in the formation of In2S3 at 300 °C. The Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) experiment involving compound [2] was conducted on the FTO substrate, resulting in the production of singular-phase In2S3 deposits. A comprehensive characterization of these deposits, including crystal structure analysis via X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface topography examination through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been completed. The presence of In-S units was also supported by the Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) of the as-deposited films. Moreover, the electronic structure and thermal properties of compound [2] were investigated through DFT calculations. Electron density localization analysis revealed that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) exhibited dense concentration at the aminothiolate moiety of the complex, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) predominantly resided at the N,O-β-heteroarylalkenolate ligand. Furthermore, our computational investigation has validated the formation of indium sulfide by elucidating an intermediate state, effectively identified through EI-MS analysis, as one of the plausible pathways for obtaining In2S3. This intermediate state comprises the aminothiolate ligand (LNS) coordinated with indium metal.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing anions (e.g. thiolates, polysulfides) readily exchange in solution, making control over their solution speciation and distribution challenging. Here, we demonstrate that different redox-inactive alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+) shift the equilibria of sulfur catenation or sulfur reduction/oxidation between thiolate, polysulfanide, and polysulfide anions in acetonitrile solution. The thermodynamic factors that govern these equilibria are examined by identification of intermediate metal thiolate and metal polysulfide species using a combination of NMR spectroscopy, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the metal cation of the electrolyte modulates both sulfur reduction and thiolate oxidation potentials. DFT calculations suggest that the changes in equilibria are driven by stronger covalent interactions between polysulfide anions and more highly charged cations.

Abstract
In addition to its primary oxygen-atom-transfer function, cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) exhibits a relatively understudied anaerobic disproportionation reaction (ADO-Fe(III)-SR → ADO-Fe(II) + ½ RSSR) with its native substrates. Inspired by ADO disproportionation reactivity, we employ [Fe(tacn)Cl3] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) as a precursor for generating Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes in buffered aqueous media. A series of Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes are generated in situ using aqueous [Fe(tacn)Cl3] and thiol-containing ligands cysteamine, penicillamine, mercaptopropionate, cysteine, cysteine methyl ester, N-acetylcysteine, and N-acetylcysteine methyl ester. We observe trends in UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, disproportionation rate constants, and cathodic peak potentials as a function of thiol ligand. These trends will be useful in rationalizing substrate-dependent Fe(III)-thiolate disproportionation reactions in metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are unique hybrid porous materials formed by combining metal ions or clusters with organic ligands. Thiol and thioether-based MOFs belong to a specific category of MOFs where one or many thiols or thioether groups are present in organic linkers. Depending on the linkers, thiol-thioether MOFs can be divided into three categories: (i) MOFs where both thiol or thioether groups are part of the carboxylic acid ligands, (ii) MOFs where only thiol or thioether groups are present in the organic linker, and (iii) MOFs where both thiol or thioether groups are part of azolate-containing linkers. MOFs containing thiol-thioether-based acid ligands are synthesized through two primary approaches; one is by utilizing thiol and thioether-based carboxylic acid ligands where the bonding pattern of ligands with metal ions plays a vital role in MOF formation (HSAB principle). MOFs synthesized by this approach can be structurally differentiated into two categories: structures without common structural motifs and structures with common structural motifs (related to UiO-66, UiO-67, UiO-68, MIL-53, NU-1100, etc.). The second approach to synthesize thiol and thioether-based MOFs is indirect methods, where thiol or thioether functionality is introduced in MOFs by techniques like post-synthetic modifications (PSM), post-synthetic exchange (PSE) and by forming composite materials. Generally, MOFs containing only thiol-thioether-based ligands are synthesized by interfacial assisted synthesis, forming two-dimensional sheet frameworks, and show significantly high conductivity. A limited study has been done on MOFs containing thiol-thioether-based azolate ligands where both nitrogen- and sulfur-containing functionality are present in the MOF frameworks. These materials exhibit intriguing properties stemming from the interplay between metal centres, organic ligands, and sulfur functionality. As a result, they offer great potential for multifaceted applications, ranging from catalysis, sensing, and conductivity, to adsorption. This perspective is organised through an introduction, schematic representations, and tabular data of the reported thiol and thioether MOFs and concluded with future directions.

Abstract
Metal insertion into the C-S bonds of thiophenes is a facile route to interesting polydentate ligand scaffolds with C and S donors. Here, we describe iron-mediated C-S activation of a diphenylphosphine-functionalized benzothiophene proligand. Metalation of the proligand with "tetrakis(trimethylphosphine)iron" gives an initial five-coordinate, diamagnetic iron(II) species with two PMe3 ligands and a dianionic PCS pincer ligand. Upon one-electron reduction, a reactive anionic iron(I) complex is formed. This species then undergoes deep-seated changes, notably cleavage of C-S and C-P bonds in the supporting ligand. Substantial coordination sphere alterations accompany the ligand C-S bond activation, including loss of a sulfur anion from the S-Fe-C metallacycle and reorganization of the two PMe3 ligands. The resulting desulfurized six-coordinate PCC iron complex also has an N2 ligand trans to the vinyl C. Reducing this complex then cleaves a C-P bond in the appended diphenylphosphine, giving a phosphido arm. These ligand transformations demonstrate novel approaches to pincers with thiolates and phosphides, which would be difficult to synthesize using typical methods through free ligand salts.

Abstract
Understanding the chemical bonding in the catalytic cofactor of the Mo nitrogenase (FeMo-co) is foundational for building a mechanistic picture of biological nitrogen fixation. A persistent obstacle towards this goal has been that the 57Fe-based spectroscopic data-although rich with information-combines responses from all seven Fe sites, and it has therefore not been possible to map individual spectroscopic responses to specific sites in the three-dimensional structure. Here we have addressed this challenge by incorporating 57Fe into a single site of FeMo-co. Spectroscopic analysis of the resting state informed on the local electronic structure of the terminal Fe1 site, including its oxidation state and spin orientation, and, in turn, on the spin-coupling scheme for the entire cluster. The oxidized resting state and the first intermediate in nitrogen fixation were also characterized, and comparisons with the resting state provided molecular-level insights into the redox chemistry of FeMo-co.

Abstract
In class Ib ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) a dimanganese(II) cluster activates superoxide (O2 ⋅- ) rather than dioxygen (O2 ), to access a high valent MnIII -O2 -MnIV species, responsible for the oxidation of tyrosine to tyrosyl radical. In a biomimetic approach, we report the synthesis of a thiolate-bound dimanganese complex [MnII 2 (BPMT)(OAc)2 ](ClO)4 (BPMT=(2,6-bis{[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl}-4-methylthiophenolate) (1) and its reaction with O2 ⋅- to form a [(BPMT)MnO2 Mn]2+ complex 2. Resonance Raman investigation revealed the presence of an O-O bond in 2, while EPR analysis displayed a 16-line St =1/2 signal at g=2 typically associated with a MnIII MnIV core, as detected in class Ib RNRs. Unlike all other previously reported Mn-O2 -Mn complexes, generated by O2 ⋅- activation at Mn2 centers, 2 proved to be a capable electrophilic oxidant in aldehyde deformylation and phenol oxidation reactions, rendering it one of the best structural and functional models for class Ib RNRs.

Abstract
A series of six-coordinate diCo(III) porphyrin dimers, as synthetic analogues of diheme cytochromes, have been reported here having bis(imidazole), bis(pyridine) and mixed thiophenolate-pyridine/imidazole axial ligands. In the X-ray structures of bis(imidazole) and bis(pyridine) complexes, the axial ligands are in perpendicular orientation while they are parallelly oriented in their monomeric analog. The porphyrin rings are also highly ruffle-distorted in dimer but planar in monomer which reflect the effect of intramolecular interaction between two Co(porphyrin) units in dimers. In the X-ray structure of diCo(III) thiophenolate-pyridine mixed-ligated complex, the axial Co-S and Co-N(py) distances are 2.256(1) and 2.063(2) Å, respectively. The Co-N(py) distance of 2.063(2) Å is much longer than the distances of 1.961(3) and 1.972(3) Å observed in bis(pyridine) complex and the Co-S distance is larger than Co-N(py) in the mixed ligated complex which results in a displacement of Co by 0.15 Å towards the pyridine ligand from the mean porphyrin plane. Indeed, this is the first X-ray structure of a metalloporphyrin with mixed thiophenolate-pyridine axial ligands. The effect of mixed-axial ligation is demonstrated by a blue-shift of the Soret band in the UV-visible spectroscopy and also a positive shift of the Co(III)/Co(II) redox couple as compared to their bis(pyridine) analogue. The redox potentials are shifted to a large negative value just upon replacing the metal from iron to cobalt. The present investigation emphasizes the role of axial ligation, metal ions, and also the effect of heme-heme interaction in controlling the spectral and electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially with iron, is at the heart of many biological transformations involving NO. A series of heme proteins, nitric oxide synthases (NOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and nitrophorins, are responsible for the biosynthesis, sensing, and transport of NO. Alternatively, NO can be generated from nitrite by heme- and copper-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs). The NO-bearing small molecules such as nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) can serve as an alternative vehicle for NO storage and transport. Once NO is formed, the rich reaction chemistry of NO leads to a wide variety of biological activities including reduction of NO by heme or non-heme iron-containing NO reductases and protein post-translational modifications by DNICs. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of metal sites in biology with NO and the mechanisms of these transformations has come from the elucidation of the geometric and electronic structures and chemical reactivity of synthetic model systems, in synergy with biochemical and biophysical studies on the relevant proteins themselves. This review focuses on recent advancements from studies on proteins and model complexes that not only have improved our understanding of the biological roles of NO but also have provided foundations for biomedical research and for bio-inspired catalyst design in energy science.

Abstract
Disulfide-cross-linked hydrogels have been widely used for biological applications because of their degradability in response to redox stimuli. However, degradability often depends on polymer concentration, which also influences the hydrogel mechanical properties such as the initial stiffness. Here, we describe a one-pot cross-linking approach utilizing both a thiol-ene reaction through a Michael pathway with divinyl sulfone (DVS) to form non-reducible thioether bonds and thiol oxidation promoted by ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Fe-EDTA) to form reducible disulfide bonds. The ratio between these two bonds was modulated by varying the DVS concentration used, and the initial shear or elastic modulus and degradation rate of the hydrogels were decoupled. These gels had tunable release rates of encapsulated dextran when exposed to 10 μM glutathione. Fibroblast encapsulation results suggested good cytocompatibility of the cross-linking reactions. This work shows the potential of combining DVS and Fe-EDTA to create thiol-cross-linked hydrogels as redox-responsive drug delivery vehicles and tissue engineering scaffolds with variable degradability.

Abstract
In this work, we assessed the electronic structures of two pseudotetrahedral complexes of FeII, [Fe{(SPiPr2)2N}2] (1) and [Fe{(SePiPr2)2N}2] (2), using high-frequency and -field EPR (HFEPR) and field-dependent 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopies. This investigation revealed S = 2 ground states characterized by moderate, negative zero-field splitting (zfs) parameters D. The crystal-field (CF) theory analysis of the spin Hamiltonian (sH) and hyperfine structure parameters revealed that the orbital ground states of 1 and 2 have a predominant dx2-y2 character, which is admixed with dz2 (∼10%). Although replacing the S-containing ligands of 1 by their Se-containing analogues in 2 leads to a smaller |D| value, our theoretical analysis, which relied on extensive ab initio CASSCF calculations, suggests that the ligand spin-orbit coupling (SOC) plays a marginal role in determining the magnetic anisotropy of these compounds. Instead, the dx2-y2β → dxyβ excitations yield a large negative contribution, which dominates the zfs of both 1 and 2, while the different energies of the dx2-y2β → dxzβ transitions are the predominant factor responsible for the difference in zfs between 1 and 2. The electronic structures of these compounds are contrasted with those of other [FeS4] sites, including reduced rubredoxin by considering a D2-type distortion of the [Fe(E-X)4] cores, where E = S, Se; X = C, P. Our combined CASSCF/DFT calculations indicate that while the character of the orbital ground state and the quintet excited states' contribution to the zfs of 1 and 2 are modulated by the magnitude of the D2 distortion, this structural change does not impact the contribution of the excited triplet states.

Abstract
Metal thiolate complexes can act as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen, quenchers of singlet oxygen, and they may undergo chemical reactions with singlet oxygen leading to oxidized thiolate ligands. This review covers all of the chemical reactions of thiolate ligands with singlet oxygen (through early 2021). Since some of these reactions are self-sensitized photooxidations, singlet oxygen generation by metal complexes is also discussed. Mechanistic features such as the effects of protic vs. aprotic conditions are presented and compared with the comparatively well-understood photooxidation of organic sulfides. In general, the total rate of singlet oxygen removal correlates with the nucleophilicity of the thiolate ligand which in turn can be influenced by the metal. Some interesting patterns of reactivity have been noted as a result of this survey: Metal thiolate complexes bearing arylthiolate ligands appear to exclusively produce sulfinate (metal-bound sulfone) products upon reaction with singlet oxygen. In contrast, metal thiolate complexes bearing alkylthiolate ligands may produce sulfinate and/or sulfenate (metal-bound sulfoxide) products. Several mechanistic pathways have been proposed for these reactions, but the exact nature of any intermediates remains unknown at this time.

Abstract
Bis(aminoacidato)copper(II) [CuII(aa)2] coordination compounds are the physiological species of copper(II) amino acid compounds in blood plasma. Since there are no experimental data in the literature about the geometries that physiological CuII(aa)2 could form with l-cysteine (Cys), that is, for bis(l-cysteinato)copper(II) [Cu(Cys)2] and the ternary (l-histidinato)(l-cysteinato)copper(II) [Cu(His)(Cys)], this paper computationally examines the possible conformations that the two compounds could form with the Cys ligand having a protonated sulfur, as in the conventional zwitterion, which was determined to be prevailing in aqueous solution. These two amino acids can bind metals in a tridentate fashion and thus form many possible coordination patterns. Density functional calculations were performed for the conformational analyses in the gas phase and in implicitly modeled aqueous solution using a polarizable continuum model. Additionally, we examine which coordination mode, with thiol or thiolate group, is more stable. The Cys coordination via the amino N and carboxylato O atoms (a glycinato mode) is obtained as the most stable one in aqueous Cu(Cys)2, and also in Cu(His)(Cys) when the His glycinato or histaminato mode combines with the intact thiol group. Whereas the conformers with N and thiol S as the copper(II) donor atoms are predicted to be the least stable, those with the Cu-N and Cu-S(thiolate) bonding (and protonated carboxylato group) are the most stable. The differences are explained by different covalent and ionic contributions of Cu-S(thiol) vs. Cu-S(thiolate). The study can contribute to the insight into formation and reactivity of the copper(II) cysteinato complexes in solution.

Abstract
Two series of high-spin nickel complexes, [TpPh,Me]Ni(EAr) (E = O, Se, Te; Ar = C6H5) and [TpPh,Me]Ni(SeC6H4-4-X) (X = H, Cl, Me, OMe), were prepared by metathetical reaction of the nickel(II) halide precursor with sodium salts of the corresponding chalcogen, NaEAr. X-ray crystallographic characterization and spectroscopic studies have established the geometric and electronic structures of these complexes. The observed spectroscopic and structural characteristics reveal distinct trends in accordance with the variation of the identity of the arylchalcogenolate and para substituent. Reaction of the [TpPh,Me]Ni(EAr) complexes with methyl iodide proceeded readily, producing the corresponding methylarylchalcogen and [TpPh,Me]NiI. A kinetic and computational analysis of the reaction of [TpPh,Me]Ni(SeC6H5) with MeI supports that the electrophilic alkylation reactions occur via an associative mechanism via a classical SN2 transition state.

Abstract
The biological global carbon cycle is largely regulated through microbial nickel enzymes, including carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH), acetyl coenzyme A synthase (ACS), and methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR). These systems are suggested to utilize organometallic intermediates during catalysis, though characterization of these species has remained challenging. We have established a mutant of nickel-substituted azurin as a scaffold upon which to develop protein-based models of enzymatic intermediates, including the organometallic states of ACS. In this work, we report the comprehensive investigation of the S = 1/2 Ni-CO and Ni-CH3 states using pulsed EPR spectroscopy and computational techniques. While the Ni-CO state shows conventional metal-ligand interactions and a classical ligand field, the Ni-CH3 hyperfine interactions between the methyl protons and the nickel indicate a closer distance than would be expected for an anionic methyl ligand. Structural analysis instead suggests a near-planar methyl ligand that can be best described as cationic. Consistent with this conclusion, the frontier molecular orbitals of the Ni-CH3 species indicate a ligand-centered LUMO, with a d9 population on the metal center, rather than the d7 population expected for a typical metal-alkyl species generated by oxidative addition. Collectively, these data support the presence of an inverted ligand field configuration for the Ni-CH3 Az species, in which the lowest unoccupied orbital is centered on the ligands rather than the more electropositive metal. These analyses provide the first evidence for an inverted ligand field within a biological system. The functional relevance of the electronic structures of both the Ni-CO and Ni-CH3 species are discussed in the context of native ACS, and an inverted ligand field is proposed as a mechanism by which to gate reactivity both within ACS and in other thiolate-containing metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Sulfur-bridged bimetallic 2M-2S type structures are essential cofactors that participate in biological long-range electron transport and metabolism. Metal-sulfur bond covalency is a decisive property for inner sphere (through-bond) type electron transfer that dominates in buried or hydrophobic protein environments. This work reports on a combined experimental and computational study of the effect of ligand charge on the electronic structure of a 2Ni-2S model site that adopts the biologically relevant S = 1/2 redox state. Starting out from an isostructural dinickel(1.5+)-dithiophenolate platform with sulfur-bridged tetrahedral Ni sites, η2:η2-μ-coordination of the S = 1/2 [2Ni-2S]+ core to either a neutral π-system or strongly σ-donating cyclohexadienido renders its electronic structure substantially different. Density functional theory analysis corroborates pulse and continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance data that associate co-ligand charge with the significant change in the mechanism and size of electron-31P nuclear spin hyperfine coupling to a phosphine reporter ligand at each nickel center. An increasing level of charge donation attenuates direct and through-bridge electronic coupling of the metal sites, resulting in a stronger electronic coupling of the 2Ni-2S core to its terminal phosphine donors. Drawing a connection to biological 2M-2S sites, our 2Ni-2S system indicates that a fine balance of intracore and core-protein electronic coupling is key to biological function for which the degree of charge donation by peripheral donors appears to be a significant parameter.

Abstract
Sulfur-rich metalloproteins and metalloenzymes, containing strongly covalent metal-thiolate (cysteinate) or metal-sulfide bonds in their active site, are ubiquitous in nature. The metal-sulfur motif is a highly versatile tool involved in various biological processes: (i) metal storage, transport, and detoxification; (ii) electron transfer; (iii) activation of the sulfur atom to promote different types of S-based reactions including S-alkylation, S-oxygenation, S-nitrosylation, or disulfide or thiyl radicals formation; (iv) activation of small earth-abundant molecules (such as water, dioxygen, superoxide radical anion, carbon oxides, nitrous oxide, and dinitrogen).This Account describes our investigations carried out during the past 10 years on bio-inspired and biomimetic low-nuclearity complexes containing metal-thiolate bonds. The general objective of these structural, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and catalytic studies was to determine structure-properties-function correlations useful to (i) understanding the peculiar features or the mechanism of the mimicked natural systems and/or (ii) reproducing enzymatic reactivities for specific catalytic applications.By employing a unique highly preorganized N2S2-donor ligand with two thiolate functions, in combination with different first-row transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or V), we got access to a series of bio-inspired sulfur-rich complexes displaying a widespread spectrum of structures, properties, and functions. We isolated a dicopper(I) complex that, for the first time, mimicked concomitantly the key structural, spectroscopic, and redox features of the biological CuA center, a highly efficient electron transfer agent involved in the respiratory enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. In the field of sulfur activation, we explored (i) sulfur methylation promoted by a Zn-dithiolate complex that mimics Zn-dependent thiolate alkylation proteins and shows different selectivity compared to the Ni and Co congeners and (ii) a series of Co, Fe, and Mn complexes as the first copper-free systems able to promote thiolate/disulfide interconversion mediated by (de)coordination of halides. Concerning metal-centered reactivity, we investigated two families of metal-thiolate catalysts for small-molecule activation, especially relevant in the fields of sustainable fuel production and energy conversion: (i) two isostructural Mn and Fe dinuclear complexes that activate and reduce dioxygen selectively, either to hydrogen peroxide or water as a function of the experimental conditions; (ii) a family of dinuclear MFe (M = Ni or Fe) hydrogenase mimics active for catalytic H2 evolution both in organic solution and on modified electrodes in water.This Account thus illustrates how the versatility of thiolate ligation can support selected functions for transition metal complexes, depending on the nature of the metal, the nuclearity of the complex, the presence and type of co-ligands, the second coordination sphere effects, and the experimental conditions.

Abstract
Experiments were conducted for the study of the effect of cysteine addition on the microstructure of nanocrystalline Ni films electrodeposited from a nickel sulfate-based bath. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the nanostructure of Ni layers processed with cysteine addition was also investigated. It was found that with increasing cysteine content in the bath, the grain size decreased, while the dislocation density and the twin fault probability increased. Simultaneously, the hardness increased due to cysteine addition through various effects. Saturation in the microstructure and hardness was achieved at cysteine contents of 0.3-0.4 g/L. Moreover, the texture changed from (220) to (200) with increasing the concentration of cysteine. The hardness of the Ni films processed with the addition of 0.4 g/L cysteine (∼6800 MPa) was higher than the values obtained for other additives in the literature (<6000 MPa). This hardness was further enhanced to ∼8400 MPa when the Ni film was heated up to 500 K. It was revealed that the hardness remained as high as 6000 MPa even after heating up to 750 K, while for other additives, the hardness decreased below 3000 MPa at the same temperature.

Abstract
The simultaneously functions of Metallothioneins (MTs) are relied on their metalation mechanisms that can be divided into non-cooperative, weakly cooperative and strongly cooperative mechanisms. In this study, we recombinantly synthesized OsMTI-1b, N- and C-terminal Cys-rich regions as glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-fusion proteins in E. coli. In comparison with control strains (The E. coli cells containing pET41a without gene), transgenic E. coli cells showed more tolerance against Cd2+ and Zn2+. The recombinant GST-proteins were purified using affinity chromatography. According to in vitro assays, the recombinant proteins showed a higher binding ability to Cd2+ and Zn2+. However, the affinity of apo-proteins to Cu2+ ions were very low. The coordination of Cd2+ ions in OsMTI-1b demonstrates a strongly cooperative mechanism with a priority for the C-terminal Cys-rich region that indicates the detoxifying of heavy metals as main role of P1 subfamily of MTs. While the metalation with Zn2+ conformed to a weakly cooperative mechanism with a specificity to N-terminal Cys-rich region. It implies the specific function of OsMTI-1b is involved in zinc homeostasis. Nevertheless, a non-cooperative metalation mechanism was perceived for Cu2+ that suggests the fully metalation does not occur and OsMTI-1b cannot play a significant role in dealing with Cu2+ ions.

Abstract
The surprisingly low rupture force and remarkable mechanical anisotropy of rubredoxin have been known for several years. Exploiting the first combination of steered molecular dynamics and the quantum chemical Judgement of Energy DIstribution (JEDI) analysis, the common belief that hydrogen bonds between neighboring amino acid backbones and the sulfur atoms of the central FeS4 unit in rubredoxin determine the low mechanical resistance of the protein is invalidated. The distribution of strain energy in the central part of rubredoxin is elucidated in real-time with unprecedented detail, giving important insights into the mechanical unfolding pathway of rubredoxin. While structural anisotropy as well as the contribution of angle bendings in the FeS4 unit have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of rubredoxin, these factors are insufficient to explain the experimentally observed low rupture force. Instead, the rupture mechanism of rubredoxin is far more complex than previously thought and requires more than just a hydrogen bond network.

Abstract
Electron microscopy allows the extraction of multidimensional spatiotemporally correlated structural information of diverse materials down to atomic resolution, which is essential for figuring out their structure-property relationships. Unfortunately, the high-energy electrons that carry this important information can cause damage by modulating the structures of the materials. This has become a significant problem concerning the recent boost in materials science applications of a wide range of beam-sensitive materials, including metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, 2D materials, and zeolites. To this end, developing electron microscopy techniques that minimize the electron beam damage for the extraction of intrinsic structural information turns out to be a compelling but challenging need. This article provides a comprehensive review on the revolutionary strategies toward the electron microscopic imaging of beam-sensitive materials and associated materials science discoveries, based on the principles of electron-matter interaction and mechanisms of electron beam damage. Finally, perspectives and future trends in this field are put forward.

Abstract
Two nickel complexes supported by tridentate NS2 ligands, [Ni2 (κ-N,S,S,S'-NPh {CH2 (MeC6 H2 R')S}2 )2 ] (1; R'=3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ) and [Ni2 (κ-N,S,S,S'-NiBu {CH2 C6 H4 S}2 )2 ] (2), were prepared as bioinspired models of the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenases. The solid-state structure of 1 reveals that the [Ni2 (μ-ArS)2 ] core is bent, with the planes of the nickel centers at a hinge angle of 81.3(5)°, whereas 2 shows a coplanar arrangement between both nickel(II) ions in the dimeric structure. Complex 1 electrocatalyzes proton reduction from CF3 COOH at -1.93 (overpotential of 1.04 V, with icat /ip ≈21.8) and -1.47 V (overpotential of 580 mV, with icat /ip ≈5.9) versus the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple. The electrochemical behavior of 1 relative to that of 2 may be related to the bent [Ni2 (μ-ArS)2 ] core, which allows proximity of the two Ni⋅⋅⋅Ni centers at 2.730(8) Å; thus possibly favoring H+ reduction. In contrast, the planar [Ni2 (μ-ArS)2 ] core of 2 results in a Ni⋅⋅⋅Ni distance of 3.364(4) Å and is unstable in the presence of acid.

Abstract
Interpretation of magnetic resonance data in the context of structural and chemical biology requires prior knowledge of the g-tensor directions for paramagnetic metallo-cofactors with respect to the protein structural frame. Access to this information is often limited by the strict requirement of suitable protein crystals for single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements or the reliance on protons (with ambiguous locations in crystal structures) near the paramagnetic metal site. Here we develop a novel pulsed EPR approach with selective 13Cβ-cysteine labeling of model [2Fe-2S] proteins to help bypass these problems. Analysis of the 13Cβ-cysteine hyperfine tensors reproduces the g-tensor of the Pseudomonas putida ISC-like [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin (FdxB). Its application to the hyperthermophilic archaeal Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin (ARF) from Sulfolobus solfataricus, for which the single-crystal EPR approach was not feasible, supports the best-fit g x-, g z-, and g y-tensor directions of the reduced cluster as nearly along Fe-Fe, S-S, and the cluster plane normal, respectively. These approximate principal directions of the reduced ARF g-tensor, explored by 13C pulsed EPR, are less skewed from the cluster molecular axes and are largely consistent with those previously determined by single-crystal EPR for the cytochrome bc1-associated, reduced Rieske [2Fe-2S] center. This suggests the approximate g-tensor directions are conserved across the phylogenetically and functionally divergent Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] proteins.

Abstract
The hexanuclear thioguanidine mixed-valent copper complex cation [Cu6 (NGuaS)6 ]+2 (NGuaS = o-SC6 H4 NC(NMe2 )2 ) and its oxidized/reduced states are theoretically analyzed by means of density functional theory (DFT) (TPSSh + D3BJ/def2-TZV (p)). A detailed bonding analysis using overlap populations is performed. We find that a delocalized Cu-based ring orbital serves as an acceptor for donated S p electrons. The formed fully delocalized orbitals give rise to a confined electron cloud within the Cu6 S6 cage which becomes larger on reduction. The resulting strong electrostatic repulsion might prevent the fully reduced state. Experimental UV/Vis spectra are explained using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and analyzed with a natural transition orbital analysis. The spectra are dominated by MLCTs within the Cu6 S6 core over a wide range but LMCTs are also found. The experimental redshift of the reduced low energy absorption band can be explained by the clustering of the frontier orbitals. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
A series of cadmium thiolate compounds that feature a sulfur-rich coordination environment, namely [TmBut]CdSAr, have been synthesized by the reactions of [TmBut]CdMe with ArSH (Ar = C6H4-4-F, C6H4-4-But, C6H4-4-OMe, and C6H4-3-OMe). In addition, the pyridine-2-thiolate and pyridine-2-selenolate derivatives, [TmBut]CdSPy and [TmBut]CdSePy have been obtained via the respective reactions of [TmBut]CdMe with pyridine-2-thione and pyridine-2-selone. The molecular structures of [TmBut]CdSAr and [TmBut]CdEPy (E = S or Se) have been determined by X-ray diffraction and demonstrate that, in each case, the [CdS4] motif is distorted tetrahedral and approaches a trigonal monopyramidal geometry in which the thiolate ligand adopts an equatorial position; [TmBut]CdSPy and [TmBut]CdSePy, however, exhibit an additional long-range interaction with the pyridyl nitrogen atoms. The ability of the thiolate ligands to participate in exchange was probed by 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic studies of the reactions of [TmBut]CdSC6H4-4-F with ArSH (Ar = C6H4-4-But or C6H4-4-OMe), which demonstrate that (i) exchange is facile and (ii) coordination of thiolate to cadmium is most favored for the p-fluorophenyl derivative. Furthermore, a two-dimensional EXSY experiment involving [TmBut]CdSC6H4-4-F and 4-fluorothiophenol demonstrates that degenerate thiolate ligand exchange is also facile on the NMR time scale.

Abstract
The EutT enzyme from Salmonella enterica, a member of the family of ATP:cobalt(I) corrinoid adenosyltransferase (ACAT) enzymes, requires a divalent transition metal ion for catalysis, with Fe(II) yielding the highest activity. EutT contains a unique cysteine-rich HX11CCX2C(83) motif (where H and the last C occupy the 67th and 83rd positions, respectively, in the amino acid sequence) not found in other ACATs and employs an unprecedented mechanism for the formation of adenosylcobalamin. Recent kinetic and spectroscopic studies of this enzyme revealed that residues in the HX11CCX2C(83) motif are required for the tight binding of the divalent metal ion and are critical for the formation of a four-coordinate (4c) cob(II)alamin [Co(II)Cbl] intermediate in the catalytic cycle. However, it remained unknown which, if any, of the residues in the HX11CCX2C(83) motif bind the divalent metal ion. To address this issue, we have characterized Co(II)-substituted wild-type EutT (EutTWT/Co) by using electronic absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance, and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopies. Our results indicate that the reduced catalytic activity of EutTWT/Co relative to that of the Fe(II)-containing enzyme arises from the incomplete incorporation of Co(II) ions and, thus, a decrease in the relative population of 4c Co(II)Cbl. Our MCD data for EutTWT/Co also reveal that the Co(II) ions reside in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment with direct cysteine sulfur ligation. Additional spectroscopic studies of EutT/Co variants possessing a single alanine substitution of either His67, His75, Cys79, Cys80, or Cys83 indicate that Cys80 coordinates to the Co(II) ion, while the additional residues are important for maintaining the structural integrity and/or high affinity of the metal binding site.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations are presented for the dicopper thiolate complex Cu2 (NGuaS)2 Cl2 [NGuaS=2-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino) benzenethiolate] with a special focus on the bonding mechanism of the Cu2 S2 Cl2 core and the spectroscopic response. This complex is relevant for the understanding of dicopper redox centers, for example, the CuA center. Its UV/Vis absorption is theoretically studied and found to be similar to other structural CuA models. The spectrum can be roughly divided in the known regions of metal d-d absorptions and metal to ligand charge transfer regions. Nevertheless the chloride ions play an important role as electron donors, with the thiolate groups as electron acceptors. The bonding mechanism is dissected by means of charge decomposition analysis which reveals the large covalency of the Cu2 S2 diamond core mediated between Cu dz2 and S-S π and π* orbitals forming Cu-S σ bonds. Measured resonant Raman spectra are shown for 360- and 720-nm excitation wavelength and interpreted using the calculated vibrational eigenmodes and frequencies. The calculations help to rationalize the varying resonant behavior at different optical excitations. Especially the phenylene rings are only resonant for 720 nm. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Zinc fingers are highly ubiquitous structural motifs that provide stability to proteins, thus contributing to their correct folding. Despite the high thermodynamic stability of the ZnCys4 centers, their kinetic properties display remarkable lability. Here, we use a combination of protein engineering with single molecule force spectroscopy atomic force microscopy (AFM) to uncover the surprising mechanical lability (∼90 pN) of the individual Zn-S bonds that form the two equivalent zinc finger motifs embedded in the structure of the multidomain DnaJ chaperone. Rational mutations within the zinc coordinating residues enable direct identification of the chemical determinants that regulate the interplay between zinc binding-requiring the presence of all four cysteines-and disulfide bond formation. Finally, our observations show that binding to hydrophobic short peptides drastically increases the mechanical stability of DnaJ. Altogether, our experimental approach offers a detailed, atomistic vista on the fine chemical mechanisms that govern the nanomechanics of individual, naturally occurring zinc finger.

Abstract
Aquaporin (AQP) water and solute channels have basic physiological functions throughout the human body. AQP-facilitated water permeability across cell membranes is required for rapid reabsorption of water from pre-urine in the kidneys and for sustained near isosmolar water fluxes e.g. in the brain, eyes, inner ear, and lungs. Cellular water permeability is further connected to cell motility. AQPs of the aquaglyceroporin subfamily are necessary for lipid degradation in adipocytes and glycerol uptake into the liver, as well as for skin moistening. Modulation of AQP function is desirable in several pathophysiological situations, such as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, Sjögren's syndrome, Menière's disease, heart failure, or tumors to name a few. Attempts to design or to find effective small molecule AQP inhibitors have yielded only a few hits. Challenges reside in the high copy number of AQP proteins in the cell membranes, and spatial restrictions in the protein structure. This review gives an overview on selected physiological and pathophysiological conditions in which modulation of AQP functions appears beneficial and discusses first achievements in the search of drug-like AQP inhibitors.
