Electrocatalytic O2 Reduction by Synthetic Analogues of the Heme/Cu Site of Cytochrome Oxidase Incorporated in a Lipid Film

Close structural analogues (see picture) of the O2-reducing site of terminal oxidases dispersed in a phospholipid reduce O2 at physiological potentials and do not release toxic partially reduced oxygen by-products, even when electron flux is diffusion-limited.
