Abstract
Copper ions are essential for living organisms because they are involved in several fundamental biological processes. Biomolecules interacting with copper ions have to be characterized as such, when bound to the metal ion, and when they interact with other biomolecules or substrates. The characterization is both structural and dynamic. In this context, NMR is a preferred tool of investigation because it allows shedding light on what happens in solution. Here, the NMR contribution to the copper trafficking is described, providing precious information on biochemical pathways, which are essential to understand the mechanisms of life at the molecular level.
