Magnetic Resonance Studies of Metal Cation Transport Across Biological Membranes: Use Of Paramagnetic Lanthanide Ions

  • Chapter
The Rare Earths in Modern Science and Technology

Abstract

Paramagnetic lanthanide ions (*Ln+3) have proved to be very useful in effecting magnetic resonance studies of the transport of metal cations across biological membranes; a very important process (1) usually facilitated by integral membrane proteins (2). We will discuss two different types of study: 1) the transport of *Ln+3 ions as surrogates for physiological metal cations (Na+, K+, Mg+2 and Ca+2) 2) the use of anionic complexes of *Ln+3 ions to study the transport of physiological cations directly by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
