Hello everyone..
I have to figure out the mechanism for the formation of Ni-(S)-BPB-Gly ( the complex is shown here:
http://discoverylab.eu/DL0013.html) for a lab report...
Despite searching numerous journals I am still struggling to devise the mechanism of this formation
I can see that there is a new peptide bond formed between the glycine and the carbonyl group on the BPB compound.. but I don't see how I can explain mechanistically how the nickel gets involved.
If anyone can shed any light on this or has any ideas I can explore.. I would be really grateful.
Thanks!
