Model compounds for metal–protein interaction: crystal structures of seven cadmium(II) complexes of amino-acids and peptides

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure analyses of bis-(L-methioninato)cadmium(II), bis-(L-asparaginato)cadmium-(II), triaquabis-(L-glutamato)dicadmium(II) hydrate, aqua-(glycyl-L-glutamato)cadmium(II) hydrate, dichlorobis-(glycylglycine)cadmium(II), and aquachloro(glycylgly-cinato)cadmium(II) are reported; the crystal structure of aqua-(L-glutamato)cadmium(II) hydrate has been determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction.
