additional information	study on structure-function relationship using copper(I)-nitrite complexes with sterically hindered tris(4-imidazolyl)carbinols such as tris(1-methyl-2-ethyl-4-imidazolyl)carbinol, tris(1-methyl-2-isopropyl-4-imidazolyl)carbinol, or tris(1-pyrazolyl)methanes such as tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane or tris(3,5-diethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane, and tris(3,5-diisopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane. All of these complexes are good functional models of Cu-NiR that form NO and copper(II) acetate complexes well from reactions with acetic acid under anaerobic conditions. The copper(I) nitrite complex with the tris(1-methyl-2-ethyl-4-imidazolyl)carbinol ligand, which is similar to the highly conserved three-histidine (His)3 ligand environment in the catalytic site of Cu-NiR, has the highest Cu-NiR activity	synthetic construct	?	-	?
