Complex Stability in Relation to Other Bioorganic Parameters

2 Complex Stability in Relation to Other Bioorganic Parameters 

The actual activity of other nitrogenase (purported) models towards both uptake and reduction of gaseous depends on the redox potentials of Mo 

Whereas the metal ions in the metalloproteins are not eqnally strongly bound, they all interact effectively with both biomass and possible snbstrates to catalyze various reactions ( 3 each) at -0.32 V, the ranking of complex formation constants of essential metal ions would be Mg V(IV) Cu(II) Fe(II)  

There is a similar line for trivalent cations but not for tetravalent ones while also some essential diva- 

Within the c/x plot for bidentate complexation there is a very constrained region containing all the classical (and some exotic or ultratrace) essential metal ions other than Cn, which exert biocatalytic fnnctions in the center. The heavier alkaline earths Ca, Sr (for corals and foraminifers) and Ba (in desmides) are essential bnt hardly for purposes of catalysis, that is, substrate binding measured by c and X does not matter for heavy alkaline earth essentiality.
