Genistein Binding to Copper(II)—Solvent Dependence and Effects on Radical Scavenging

Genistein Binding to Copper(II)—Solvent Dependence and Effects on Radical Scavenging

Genistein, but not daidzein, binds to copper(II) with a 1:2 stoichiometry in ethanol and with a 1:1 stoichiometry in methanol, indicating chelation by the 5-phenol and the 4-keto group of the isoflavonoid as demonstrated by the Jobs method and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. In ethanol, the stab...
