Catalytic Hydrolysis of 2',3'-Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate by Aqua(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)copper(II): Breakdown of the Analogy Between Activated Phosphodiesters and RNA

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/DT9930003631

Aqua(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)copper(II) catalyses the hydrolysis of 2',3'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate, but does not hydrolyse the 'activated' substrate bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate indicating that the latter is not a reliable model for biological phosphoric ester hydrolysis.
