hello, I think this is a tough topic to talk about as it doesn't have any medical significance, based off your article there is marginal significance. The article looked good, but in helping expand the article, I was thinking maybe you can talk about the history of its discovery? We talked in class about how there isn't any free metals in organisms, aside from the fact that copper dominates in ligand coordination in the Irving-Williams Series, I was wondering if it was specific to copper, or perhaps other metals can bind? Judging from the specific linear geometry, I think it is specific to copper. Maybe you can mention that it prevents copper from binding other proteins, and prevents poisoning? I'm not sure, but I think these are some ideas you can take if you'd like. Cheers! D.jae.lee (talk) 11:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
