Core collapse supernovae are responsible for at least half of the galactic inventory of Fe-group elements and probabely for most of the Fe-group abundances seen in metal poor stars. Recent simulations show the appearance of a proton-rich (Ye > 0.5) region in the ejected matter. We explore the nucleosynthesis implications of Ye > 0.5 in a framework that accomodates a consistently emerging mass cut between the neutron star and the ejected matter, and a consistent treatment of all weak interactions. We find that the proton-rich environment results in enhanced abundances of 45Sc, 49Ti, 64Zn, which is consistent with chemical evolution studies and observations of low metallicity stars.
