US-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Copper Quinone Chemistry

这项由维斯普雷姆大学的Gabor Speier博士和科罗拉多大学的Cortlandt Pierpont博士合作开展的美国-匈牙利研究项目的主要目标是研究铜催化氧化过程的基本步骤，这些过程发生在合成系统和生物系统中。工作将集中在分子内铜-醌电子转移，分子氧配位和还原铜中心的活化，以及化学计量学和催化底物氧化。该项目的资金由设在布达佩斯的美国-匈牙利联合基金按照既定的指导方针发放。

The primary objective of this US-Hungary research project between Dr. Gabor Speier of the University of Veszprem and Dr. Cortlandt Pierpont of the University of Colorado is to examine the fundamental steps involved in the copper- catalyzed oxidation processes that occur in both synthetic and biological systems. Work will focus on intramolecular copper-quinone electron transfer, molecular oxygen coordination and activation of the reduced copper center, and stoichiometric and catalytic substrate oxidation. Funds for the project are awarded through the US-Hungary Joint Fund, Budapest, in accordance with established guidelines.
