Redox doubts

Hello!

I am doing a study on cytochrome c oxidase and am having some problems at the redox part.

 

If the half reaction Cu2+ + e- -> Cu+

 

Cu2+/Cu+ = 0,153 V

 

so, the inverse is:

 

Cu+/Cu2+ = -0,153V

 

Right?

 

Thus, how the pair Cu2 + / Cu + catalyzes the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ (Eo = 0.77V).

 

Another question: higher the spin of a complex, higher the redox potential? Right?

 

I would be gratefull by help. ;) thanks!!
