We report how supramolecular host-guest assembly can be leveraged to close the gap between soluble polyoxometalates and functional solid-state materials. A polyoxovanadate cluster with specific metal binding sites is used...

Equilibrium-dialysis experiments showed that Tris or citrate in the solution prevented copper from occupying completely the specific metal-binding sites on human transferrin. Differential measurements of sedimentation velocity under conditions where two atoms of copper per molecule of protein were bound showed an increase in s020,w, relative to that of the apoprotein, practically the same as that produced by two atoms of iron. Gel-filtration experiments made under the same conditions to investigate the effect of copper binding on the Stokes radius of the protein showed merely that it lost most of the metal as it passed down the column.

Metals are essential in many biological processes, and metal ions are modeled in roughly 40% of the macromolecular structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). However, a significant fraction of these structures contain poorly modeled metal-binding sites.CheckMyMetal(CMM) is an easy-to-use metal-binding site validation server for macromolecules that is freely available at http://csgid.org/csgid/metal_sites. TheCMMserver can detect incorrect metal assignments as well as geometrical and other irregularities in the metal-binding sites. Guidelines for metal-site modeling and validation in macromolecules are illustrated by several practical examples grouped by the type of metal. These examples showCMMusers (and crystallographers in general) problems they may encounter during the modeling of a specific metal ion.

A series of luminescent lanthanide(III) complexes consisting of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane frameworks and three secondary amide-linked carbostyril antennae were synthesised. The metal binding sites were augmented with two pyridylcarboxylate donors yielding octadentate...
