Zinc/thiolate (cysteine) coordination occurs in a very large number of proteins. These coordination sites are thermodynamically quite stable. Yet the redox chemistry of thiolate ligands confers extraordinary reactivities on these sites. The significance of such ligand-centered reactions is that they
