Abstract

Copper is one of the six transition metals that have important biochemical roles in humans, particularly in catalysis and electron transport [1, 2]. Because it can exist in two redox states (Cu2+/Cu+), it can participate in redox reactions involving transfer of an electron, but if it builds up it can also generate potentially toxic reactive oxygen species by Fenton chemistry. Examples of copper in redox enzymes include: complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, copper–zinc superoxide dismutase, ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase), lysyl oxidase, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, and tyrosinase.
