Abstract
Metal chelation can provide structural stability and form reactive centers in metalloproteins. Approximately one third of known protein structures are metalloproteins, and metal binding, or the lack thereof, is often implicated in disease, making it necessary to be able to study these systems in detail. Peptide-metal complexes are both present in nature and can provide a means to focus on the binding region of a protein and control experimental variables to a high degree. Structural studies of peptide complexes with metal ions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were surveyed for all the essential metal complexes and many non-essential metal complexes. The various methods used to study each metal ion are presented together with examples of recent research. Many of these metal systems have been individually reviewed and this current overview of NMR studies of metallopeptide complexes aims to provide a basis for inspiration from structural studies and methodology applied in the field.

Abstract
Nowadays, the over use of antibiotics has led to the production of biofilms, which cause antimicrobial treatment to fail and thus are a severe threat to public health globally. Therefore, exploiting antibiofilm agents is highly urgent. In the present study, we report an assembly that is rationally constructed by biogenic amine spermine (Spm) and molybdenum (Mo)-containing polyoxometalate clusters (Mo154), which present efficient antibiofilm and bactericidal effects. On the one hand, the assembly of Mo154/Spm produces large aggregates, which favors 808 nm absorption and exhibits an improved photothermal transition (PTT) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. On the other hand, the assembly with Spm enhanced Mo154 uptake to both the biofilm and bacteria, which improved both biofilm elimination and antibacterial effects. Therefore, in addition to providing an efficient antibacterial agent of Mo154/Spm assembly, the present study also offers guidance on the future design of hybrid antibacterial assemblies with efficient effects.
