Comparison of the experimental Cu K-edge XANES spectrum of saccharose-protected Cu insulin collected at 20 K within 10 min (continuous line) with theoretical XANES spectra (dashed) calculated from a 4.5 Å cluster around the Cu atom using coordinates optimized from EXAFS refinement for (a) a trigonal hexacoordinated model (C3), (b) a tetragonally elongated hexacoordinated model, (c) a tetragonal pentacoordinated model and (d) a pseudo-tetrahedral model (C3). The K edge for metallic copper is shown at 8979 eV. |
