Beschreibung:
  • Scientists can learn from Nature how the mechanism of nucleation processes leading to molecular oxides proceeds in view of the fact that, in natural systems, metal oxides could definitely be shaped by internal functionalities at the cavity surfaces, acting as templates. For example, this is the case for the molybdenum and tungsten storage proteins containing Mo/W polyoxometalates (POMs), where the release and uptake can be directed by pH changes, as well as for oxidovanadium storage proteins, the manganese cluster in photosystem II (PSII), and iron oxide clusters in iron storage and related proteins. In this chapter, the term "metal oxides" encompasses neutral oxides as well as anionic oligo- and polyoxometalates and species derived from cationic fragments. It addresses, in the context of "protein cages/cavities," (vacant) sites in apoproteins which are able to accommodate a metal-oxido cluster and protein sites which bind oligovanadates or can coordinate a sizable number of partially interacting VO2+ ions. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
