Abstract

Recent X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies we have undertaken at the Daresbury Laboratory using the dedicated Synchrotron Radiation Source have included investigations of the copper and zinc sites of mammalian liver metallothioneins and bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase. Corresponding studies have been accomplished for several copper and zinc compounds, the structure of each having been established by X-ray crystallography and shown to have some relevance to that of the metals in one or other of the above proteins.
