Abstract

The mixed-ligand copper(II) complex [Cu(tdp)(tmp)](ClO4), where H(tdp) is 2-[(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylimino)methyl]phenol and tmp is 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, exhibits cleavage of the proteins bovine serum albumin and lysozyme, producing approximately 5 and 4 kDa protein fragments respectively within a few minutes at micromolar concentrations. The hydrophobic tmp ligand recognizes the hydrophobic site and enhances protein binding and cleavage even at physiological pH and temperature.
