Metalloglycomics: a new perspective upon competitive metal–carbohydrate binding using EPR spectroscopy†
Abstract
Ternary complexes formed between calcium, the oxochromium(V) ion and N-acetylneuraminic (sialic) acid (naH6) of the form, Ca(II)–oxoCr(V)–naH6, have electronic structures and equilibrium distributions distinct from the binary oxoCr(V)–naH6 analogues, as illustrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (
