Abstract
Until the recent years, substances containing radioactive 61Cu were strongly considered as potential positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals for use in positron emission tomography (PET) applications; however, due to their suitably long half-life, and generator-independent and cost-effective production, they seem to be economically viable for human imaging. Since malignant melanoma (MM) is a major public health problem, its early diagnosis is a crucial contributor to long-term survival, which can be achieved using radiolabeled α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone analog NAPamide derivatives. Here, we report on the physicochemical features of a new CB-15aneN5-based Cu(II) complex ([Cu(KFTGdiac)]-) and the ex vivo and in vivo characterization of its NAPamide conjugate. The rigid chelate possesses prompt complex formation and suitable inertness (t1/2 = 18.4 min in 5.0 M HCl at 50 °C), as well as excellent features in the diagnosis of B16-F10 melanoma tumors (T/M(SUVs) (in vivo): 12.7, %ID/g: 6.6 ± 0.3, T/M (ex vivo): 22).

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides are short cationic peptides that are present on biological surfaces susceptible to infection, and they play an important role in innate immunity. These peptides, like other compounds with antimicrobial activity, often have significant superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. One direction of our research is the characterization of peptides modeling the CuZnSOD enzyme and the determination of their biological activity, and these results may contribute to the development of novel antimicrobial peptides. In the framework of this research, we have synthesized 10, 15, and 16-membered model peptides containing the amino acid sequence corresponding to the Cu(II) and Zn(II) binding sites of the CuZnSOD enzyme, namely the Zn(II)-binding HVGD sequence (80-83. fragments), the Cu(II)-binding sequence HVH (fragments 46-48), and the histidine (His63), which links the two metal ions as an imidazolate bridge: Ac-FHVHEGPHFN-NH2 (L1(10)), Ac-FHVHAGPHFNGGHVG-NH2 (L2(15)), and Ac-FHVHEGPHFNGGHVGD-NH2 (L3(16)). pH-potentiometric, UV-Vis-, and CD-spectroscopy studies of the Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II)-Zn(II) mixed complexes of these peptides were performed, and the SOD activity of the complexes was determined. The binding sites preferred by Cu(II) and Zn(II) were identified by means of CD-spectroscopy. From the results obtained for these systems, it can be concluded that in equimolar solution, the -(NGG)HVGD- sequence of the peptides is the preferred binding site for copper(II) ion. However, in the presence of both metal ions, according to the native enzyme, the -HVGD- sequence offers the main binding site for Zn(II), while the majority of Cu(II) binds to the -FHVH- sequence. Based on the SOD activity assays, complexes of the 15- and 16-membered peptide have a significant SOD activity. Although this activity is smaller than that of the native CuZnSOD enzyme, the complexes showed better performance in the degradation of superoxide anion than other SOD mimics. Thus, the incorporation of specific amino acid sequences mimicking the CuZnSOD enzyme increases the efficiency of model systems in the catalytic decomposition of superoxide anion.

Abstract
As cancer cells exhibit an increased uptake of iron, targeting the interaction with iron has become a straightforward strategy in the fight against cancer. This work comprehensively characterizes the chemical properties of 6-methyl-3-{(2E)-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazino}-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole (VLX600), a clinically investigated iron chelator, in solution. Its protonation processes, lipophilicity, and membrane permeability as well as its complexation with essential metal ions were investigated using UV-visible, electron paramagnetic resonance, and NMR spectroscopic and computational methods. Formation constants revealed the following order of metal binding affinity at pH 7.4: Cu(II) > Fe(II) > Zn(II). The structures of VLX600 (denoted as HL) and the coordination modes in its metal complexes [Cu(II)(LH)Cl2], [Cu(II)(L)(CH3OH)Cl], [Zn(II)(LH)Cl2], and [Fe(II)(LH)2](NO3)2 were elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Redox properties of the iron complexes characterized by cyclic voltammetry showed strong preference of VLX600 toward Fe(II) over Fe(III). In vitro cytotoxicity of VLX600 was determined in six different human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.039 to 0.51 μM. Premixing VLX600 with Fe(III), Zn(II), and Cu(II) salts in stoichiometric ratios had a rather little effect overall, thus neither potentiating nor abolishing cytotoxicity. Together, although clinically investigated as an iron chelator, this is the first comprehensive solution study of VLX600 and its interaction with physiologically essential metal ions.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are pivotal in regulating oxidative stress. In order to model Ni containing SOD enzymes, the results of the thermodynamic, spectroscopic and SOD activity studies on the complexes formed between nickel(II) and a NiSOD related peptide, CysCysAspLeuProCysGlyValTyr-NH2 (wtCC), are reported. Cysteine was introduced to replace the first histidine residue in the amino acid sequence of the active site of the NiSOD enzyme. The novel peptide exhibits 3 times higher metal binding affinity compared to the native NiSOD fragment. This is due to the presence of the first cysteine in the coordination sphere of nickel(II). At physiological pH, the (NH2,S-,S-,S-) coordinated complex is the major species. This coordination mode is altered when one thiolate group is replaced by an amide nitrogen of the peptide backbone above pH 7.5. The nickel complexes of wtCC exhibit similar SOD activity to that of the complex formed with the active site fragment of the native NiSOD. The reaction between the complexes and the superoxide anion was studied by the sequential stopped-flow method. These studies revealed that the nickel(II) complex is always in excess over the nickel(III) complex during the dismutation process. However, the nickel(III) species is also involved in a relatively fast degradation process. This unambiguously proves that a protective mechanism must be operative in the NiSOD enzyme which prevents the oxidation of the sulfur atom of cysteine in the presence of O2-. The results provide new possibilities for the use of NiSOD mimics in bio- and industrial catalytic processes.

Abstract
Two resins with the hydroxamic acid siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) immobilised as a free ligand or its Fe(iii) complex were prepared to screen the Streptomyces pilosus proteome for proteins involved in siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake. The resin design included a disulfide bond to enable the release of bound proteins under mild reducing conditions. Proteomics analysis of the bound fractions did not identify proteins associated with siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake, but identified nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD), which was enriched on the apo-DFOB-resin but not the Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the control resin. While DFOB is unable to sequester Fe(iii) from sites deeply buried in metalloproteins, the coordinatively unsaturated Ni(ii) ion in NiSOD is present in a surface-exposed loop region at the N-terminus, which might enable partial chelation. The results were consistent with the notion that the apo-DFOB-resin formed a ternary complex with NiSOD, which was not possible for either the coordinatively saturated Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the non-coordinating control resin systems. In support, ESI-TOF-MS measurements from a solution of a model Ni(ii)-SOD peptide and DFOB showed signals that correlated with a ternary Ni(ii)-SOD peptide-DFOB complex. Although any biological implications of a DFOB-NiSOD complex are unclear, the work shows that the metal coordination properties of siderophores might influence an array of metal-dependent biological processes beyond those established in iron uptake.

Abstract
In the last 20 years, research in the field of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) contrast agents (CAs) has been intensified due to the emergence of a disease called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NSF has been linked to the in vivo dissociation of certain Gd(III)-based compounds applied in MRI as CAs. To prevent the dechelation of the probes after intravenous injection, the improvement of their in vivo stability is highly desired. The inertness of the Gd(III) chelates can be increased through the rigidification of the ligand structure. One of the potential ligands is (2,2',2'',2'''-(([2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-diylbis(methylene))bis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid) (H4DIPTA), which has been successfully used as a fluorescent probe for lanthanides; however, it has never been considered as a potential chelator for Gd(III) ions. In this paper, we report the thermodynamic, kinetic and structural features of the complex formed between Gd(III) and DIPTA. Since the solubility of the [Gd(DIPTA)]- chelate is very low under acidic conditions, hampering its thermodynamic characterization, we can only assume that its stability is close to that determined for the structural analogue [Gd(FENTA)]- (H4FENTA: (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(methyliminodiacetic acid)), which is similar to that determined for the agent [Gd(DTPA)]2- routinely used in clinical practice. Unfortunately, the inertness of [Gd(DIPTA)]- is significantly lower (t1/2 = 1.34 h) than that observed for [Gd(EGTA)]- and [Gd(DTPA)]2- as a result of its spontaneous dissociation pathway during dechelation. The relaxivity values of [Gd(DIPTA)]- are comparable with those of [Gd(FENTA)]- and somewhat higher than the values characterizing [Gd(DTPA)]2-. Luminescence lifetime measurements indicate the presence of one water molecule (q = 1) in the inner sphere of the complex with a relatively high water exchange rate (k298ex = 43(5) × 106 s-1). DFT calculations suggest a rigid distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic polyhedron for the Gd(III) complex. On the basis of these results, we can conclude that the bipyridine backbone is not favourable with respect to the inertness of the chelate.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a major public health problem with an increasing incidence and mortality in the Caucasian population due to its significant metastatic potential. The early detection of this cancer type by imaging techniques like positron emission tomography acts as an important contributor to the long-term survival. Based on literature data, the radio labelled alpha-MSH analog NAPamide molecule is an appropriate diagnostic tool for the detection of melanoma tumors. Inspired by these facts, a new radiotracer, the [61Cu]Cu-KFTG-NAPamide has been synthesized to exploit the beneficial features of the positron emitter 61Cu and the melanoma specificity of the NAPamide molecule. In this work, we report a new member of the CB-15aneN5 ligand family (KFTG) as the chelator for 61Cu(II) complexation. On the basis of the thorough physico-chemical characterization, the rigid [Cu(KFTG)]+ complex exhibits fast complex formation (t1/2 = 155 s at pH 5.0 and 25 °C) and high inertness (t1/2 = 2.0 h in 5.0 M HCl at 50 °C) as well as moderate superoxide dismutase activity (IC50 = 2.3 μM). Furthermore, the [61Cu]Cu-KFTG-NAPamide possesses outstanding features in the diagnostics of B16-F10 melanoma tumors by PET imaging: (T/M(SUVs) (in vivo): appr. 14, %ID/g: 7 ± 1 and T/M (ex vivo): 315 ± 24 at 180 min).

The pH-dependent binding strengths and modes of the organometallic [(η6-p-cym)M(H2O)3]2+ (MII = Ru, Os; p-cym = 1-methyl-4-isopropylbenzene) or [(η5-Cp*)M(H2O)3]2+ (MIII = Rh, Ir; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl anion) cations towards iminodiacetic acid (H2Ida) and its biorelevant mono- and diphosphonate derivatives N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine (H3IdaP) and iminodi(methylphosphonic acid) (H4Ida2P) was studied in an aqueous solution. The results showed that all three of the ligands form 1:1 complexes via the tridentate (O,N,O) donor set, for which the binding mode was further corroborated by the DFT method. Although with IdaP3- and Ida2P4- in mono- and bis-protonated species, where H+ might also be located at the non-coordinating N atom, the theoretical calculations revealed the protonation of the phosphonate group(s) and the tridentate coordination of the phosphonate ligands. The replacement of one carboxylate in Ida2- by a phosphonate group (IdaP3-) resulted in a significant increase in the stability of the metal complexes; however, this increase vanished with Ida2P4-, which was most likely due to some steric hindrance upon the coordination of the second large phosphonate group to form (5 + 5) joined chelates. In the phosphonate-containing systems, the neutral 1:1 complexes are the major species at pH 7.4 in the millimolar concentration range that is supported by both NMR and ESI-TOF-MS.

Abstract
The discovery of the nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) and its link with the in vivo dissociation of certain Gd(III)-based contrast agents (CAs) applied in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) induced a still growing research to replace the compromised agents with safer alternatives. In recent years, several ligands were designed to exploit the luminescence properties of the lanthanides, containing structurally constrained aromatic moieties, which may form rigid Gd(III) complexes. One of these ligands is (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(methyliminodiacetic acid) (H4FENTA) designed and synthesized to sensitize Eu(III) and Tb(III) luminescence. Our results show that the conditional stability of the [Gd(FENTA)]- chelate calculated for physiological pH (pGd = 19.7) is similar to those determined for [Gd(DTPA)]2- (pGd = 19.4) and [Gd(DOTA)]- (pGd = 20.1), routinely used in the clinical practice. The [Gd(FENTA)]- complex is remarkably inert with respect to its dissociation (t1/2 = 872 days at pH = 7 and 25 °C); furthermore, its relaxivity values determined at different field strengths and temperatures (e.g., r1p = 4.3 mM-1s-1at 60 MHz and 37 °C) are ca. one unit higher than those of [Gd(DTPA)]2- (r1p = 3.4 mM-1 s-1) and [Gd(DOTA)]- (r1p = 3.1 mM-1 s-1) under the same conditions. Moreover, significant improvement on the relaxivity was observed in the presence of serum proteins (r1p = 6.9 mM-1 s-1 at 60 MHz and 37 °C). The luminescence lifetimes recorded in H2O and D2O solutions indicate the presence of a water molecule (q = 1) in the inner sphere of the complex directly coordinated to the metal ion, possessing a relatively high water exchange rate (kex298 = 29(2) × 106 s-1). The acceleration of the water exchange can be explained by the steric compression around the water binding site due to the rigid structure of the complex, which was supported by DFT calculations. On the basis of these results, ligands containing a phenanthroline platform have great potential in the design of safer Gd(III) agents for MRI.

Abstract
Copper(II) complexes of pyridine-based ligands functionalized with alanine (PydiAla) and tyrosine (PydiTyr) moieties have been synthesized as novel superoxide dismutase mimics. The complexes were characterized by pH-potentiometric, spectroscopic (UV-vis, circular dichroism, mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy), computational (DFT), and X-ray diffraction methods. Both ligands form high stability copper(II) complexes via the (Npy,N-,N-) donor set supported by the binding of the carboxylate pendant arms. Although the coordination mode is the same for the two systems, the tyrosine containing counterpart exhibits increased copper(II) binding affinity, which is most likely due to the presence of the aromatic moiety of the side chains. Both copper(II) complexes are capable of binding N-methylimidazole, and the formation of the corresponding ternary species was observed at physiological pH. The binary and ternary copper(II) complexes exhibit high SOD activity. The PydiTyr complex exhibits about 1 order of magnitude higher activity than the PydiAla complex. This is probably due to the presence of the phenolic OH group in the former species, which promotes the binding of the superoxide anion radical to the metal center. The results serve as a basis for designing highly efficient copper(II) mimics for medical and practical applications.

Abstract
In recent years Auger electron emitters have been suggested as promising candidates for radiotherapy with no side effects in cancer treatment. In this work we report a detailed coordination chemistry study of [Sb(PCTA)] (PCTA: 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9-triacetic acid), a macrocyclic aminopolycarboxylate-type complex of antimony(III), whose 119Sb isotope could be a suitable low-energy electron emitter for radiotherapy. The thermodynamic stability of the chelate obtained by pH-potentiometry and UV-vis spectrophotometry is high enough (log K[Sb(PCTA)] = 23.2(1)) to prevent the hydrolysis of the metal ion near physiological pH. The formation of [Sb(PCTA)] is confirmed by NMR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry measurements in solution; furthermore, the structure of [Sb(PCTA)]·NaCl·3H2O and [Sb(PCTA)]·HCl·3H2O is described by X-ray and density functional theory calculations. Consequently, the [Sb(PCTA)] is the first thermodynamically stable antimony(III) complex bearing polyamino-polycarboxylate macrocyclic platform. Our results demonstrate the potential of rigid (pyclen derivative) ligands as chelators for future applications of Sb(III) in a targeted radiotherapy based on the 119Sb isotope.

Abstract
Copper(II) complexes formed with sulfonated salan ligands (HSS) have been synthesized, and their coordination chemistry has been characterized using pH-potentiometry and spectroscopic methods [UV-vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electron-electron double resonance (ELDOR)-detected NMR (EDNMR)] in aqueous solution. Several bridging moieties between the two salicylamine functions were introduced, e.g., ethyl (HSS), propyl (PrHSS), butyl (BuHSS), cyclohexyl (cis-CyHSS, trans-CyHSS), and diphenyl (dPhHSS). All of the investigated ligands feature excellent copper(II) binding ability via the formation of a (O-,N,N,O-) chelate system. The results indicated that the cyclohexyl moiety significantly enhances the stability of the copper(II) complexes. EPR studies revealed that the arrangement of the coordinated donor atoms is more symmetrical around the copper(II) center and similar for HSS, BuHSS, CyHSS, and dPhHSS, respectively, and a higher rhombicity of the g tensor was detected for PrHSS. The copper(II) complexes of the sulfosalan ligands were isolated in solid form also and showed moderate catalytic activity in the Henry (nitroaldol) reaction of aldehydes and nitromethane. The best yield for nitroaldol production was obtained for copper(II) complexes of PrHSS and BuHSS, although their metal binding ability is moderate compared to that of the cyclohexyl counterparts. However, these complexes possess larger spin density on the nitrogen nuclei than that for the other cases, which alters their catalytic activity.

Abstract
N-oxides of N-heteroaromatic compounds find widespread applications in various fields of chemistry. Although the strictly planar aromatic structure of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) is expected to induce unique features of the corresponding N-oxides, so far the potential of these compounds has not been explored. In fact, appropriate procedure has not been reported for synthesizing these derivatives of phen. Now, we provide a straightforward method for the synthesis of a series of mono-N-oxides of 1,10-phenanthrolines. The parent compounds were oxidized by a green oxidant, peroxomonosulfate ion in acidic aqueous solution. The products were obtained in high quality and at good to excellent yields. A systematic study reveals a clear-cut correlation between the basicity of the compounds and the electronic effects of the substituents on the aromatic ring. The UV spectra of these compounds were predicted by DFT calculations at the TD-DFT/TPSSh/def2-TZVP level of theory.

Abstract
We report the Mn(II) complexes with two pyclen-based ligands (pyclen = 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene) functionalized with acetate pendant arms at either positions 3,6 (3,6-PC2A) or 3,9 (3,9-PC2A) of the macrocyclic fragment. The 3,6-PC2A ligand was synthesized in five steps from pyclen oxalate by protecting one of the secondary amine groups of pyclen using Alloc protecting chemistry. The complex with 3,9-PC2A is characterized by a higher thermodynamic stability [log KMnL = 17.09(2)] than the 3,6-PC2A analogue [log KMnL = 15.53(1); 0.15 M NaCl]. Both complexes contain a water molecule coordinated to the metal ion, which results in relatively high 1H relaxivities (r1p = 2.72 and 2.91 mM-1 s-1 for the complexes with 3,6-PC2A and 3,9-PC2A, respectively, at 25 °C and 0.49 T). The coordinated water molecule displays fast exchange kinetics with the bulk in both cases; the rates (kex298) are 140 × 106 and 126 × 106 s-1 for [Mn(3,6-PC2A)(H2O)] and [Mn(3,9-PC2A)(H2O)], respectively. The two complexes were found to be remarkably inert with respect to their dissociation, with half-lives of 63 and 21 h, respectively, at pH = 7.4 in the presence of excess Cu(II). The r1p values recorded in blood serum remain constant at least over a period of 120 h. Cyclic voltammetry experiments show irreversible oxidation features shifted to higher potentials with respect to [Mn(EDTA)(H2O)]2- (H4EDTA = ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and [Mn(PhDTA)(H2O)]2- (H4PhDTA = phenylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid), indicating that the PC2A complexes reported here have a lower tendency to stabilize Mn(III). The superoxide dismutase activity of the Mn(II) complexes was tested using the xanthine/xanthine oxidase/p-nitro blue tetrazolium chloride assay at pH = 7.8. The Mn(II) complexes of 3,6-PC2A and 3,9-PC2A are capable of assisting decomposition of the superoxide anion radical. The kinetic rate constant of the complex of 3,9-PC2A is smaller by 1 order of magnitude than that of 3,6-PC2A.

Abstract
Detailed equilibrium, spectroscopic and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity studies are reported on a nickel complex formed with a new metallopeptide bearing two nickel binding loops of NiSOD. The metallopeptide exhibits unique nickel binding ability and the binuclear complex is a major species with 2×(NH2 ,Namide ,S- ,S- ) donor set even in an equimolar solution of the metal ion and the ligand. Nickel(III) species were generated by oxidizing the NiII complexes with KO2 and the coordination modes were identified by EPR spectroscopy. The binuclear complex formed with the binding motifs exhibits superior SOD activity, in this respect it is an excellent model of the native NiSOD enzyme. A detailed kinetic model is postulated that incorporates spontaneous decomposition of the superoxide ion, the dismutation cycle and fast redox degradation of the binuclear complex. The latter process leads to the elimination of the SOD activity. A unique feature of this system is that the NiIII form of the catalyst rapidly accumulates in the dismutation cycle and simultaneously the NiII form becomes a minor species.

Abstract
Copper(II) complexes of the N-terminal peptide fragments of tau protein have been studied by potentiometric and various spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, CD, ESR and ESI-MS). The octapeptide Tau(9-16) (Ac-EVMEDHAG-NH2 ) contains the H14 residue of the native protein, while Tau(26-33) (Ac-QGGYTMHQ-NH2 ) and its mutants Tau(Q26K-Q33K) (Ac-KGGYTMHK-NH2 ) and Tau(Q26K-Y29A-Q33K) (Ac-KGGATMHK-NH2 ) include the H32 residue. To compare the binding ability of H14 and H32 in a single molecule the decapeptide Ac-EDHAGTMHQD-NH2 (Tau(12-16)(30-34)) has also been synthesized and studied. The histidyl residue is the primary metal binding site for metal ions in all the peptide models studied. In the case of Tau(9-16) the side chain carboxylate functions enhance the stability of the M-Nim coordinated complexes compared to Tau(26-33) (logK(Cu-Nim )=5.04 and 3.78, respectively). Deprotonation and metal ion coordination of amide groups occur around the physiological pH range for copper(II). The formation of the imidazole- and amide-coordinated species changes the metal ion preference and the complexes formed with the peptides containing the H32 residue predominate over those of H14 at physiological pH values (90 %-10 %) and in alkaline samples (96 %-4 %).

Abstract
Equilibrium and detailed spectroscopic characterization of zinc(ii) complexes with NiSOD binding loop and their related model fragments are reported in the whole investigated pH-range. The zinc(ii) complexes of L1 (HCDLPCGVY-NH2), L2 (Ac-HCDLPCGVY-NH2) and L3 (HCDLACGVY-NH2) and the nickel(ii) and zinc(ii) complexes of L4 (HCDLPCG-NH2) were studied by pH-potentiometric and several spectroscopic methods. The results indicated that the macrochelate coordinated zinc(ii) complexes are dominant in a whole pH-range and the side chain donors of the peptides are involved in the metal binding. Therefore, the deprotonation and coordination of the peptide backbone occur only in a strongly alkaline solution. The acetylation of the peptide amino terminus (L2) significantly enhances the zinc(ii) binding ability compared to the corresponding nickel(ii) complexes. L2 complexes of zinc(ii) are 2 or 3 orders of magnitude more stable than the corresponding nickel(ii) complexes. This effect clearly shows the crucial role of the terminal amino group in the nickel binding for the NiSOD enzyme.

Abstract
Copper(ii) complexes of peptides modelling the sequence of the 17-22 residues of rat amylin have been studied by potentiometric, UV-Vis, CD and ESR spectroscopic methods. The peptides were synthesized in N-terminally free forms, NH2-VRSSNN-NH2, NH2-VRSSAA-NH2, NH2-VRAANN-NH2, NH2-VRSS-NH2, NH2-SSNN-NH2, NH2-SSNA-NH2 and NH2-AANN-NH2, providing a possibility for the comparison of the metal binding abilities of the amino terminus and the -SSNN- domain. The amino terminus was the primary ligating site in all cases and the formation of only mononuclear complexes was obtained for the tetrapeptides. The thermodynamic stability of the (NH2, N(-), N(-)) coordinated complexes was, however, enhanced by the asparaginyl moiety in the case of NH2-SSNN-NH2, NH2-SSNA-NH2 and NH2-AANN-NH2. Among the hexapeptides the formation of dinuclear complexes was characteristic for NH2-VRSSNN-NH2 demonstrating the anchoring ability of the -SSNN- (SerSerAsnAsn) domain. The complexes of the heptapeptide NH2-GGHSSNN-NH2 were also studied and the data supported the above mentioned anchoring ability of the -SSNN- site.
