Solution Structures Of Proteins Containing Paramagnetic Metal Ions

  • Chapter
Molecular Modeling and Dynamics of Bioinorganic Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 41))

Abstract

Metal ions containing unpaired electrons (i.e. paramagnetic) are rather common in biological systems. In particular, electron transfer metalloproteins must have at least one redox state with unpaired electrons. The quantum-mechanical treatment of these systems is cumbersome and the results are uncertain [1,2], although the density functional approach has provided some interesting data [3].
