Electrophoretic studies on the chelating tendency of bioactive sulphur-containing amino acids. The metal-methylcysteine-cysteine system.
Stability constants of binary Fe(III)-methylcysteine, Cr(III)-methylcysteine and mixed Fe(III)-methylcysteine-cysteine, Cr(III)-methylcysteine-cysteine complexes have been determined by paper electrophoresis at 0.1 M ionic strength and a temperature of 35 degrees C. The stability constants of Fe(III)-methylcysteine-cysteine and Cr(III)-methylcysteine-cysteine mixed complexes were found to be 6.00 +/- 0.07 and 5.05 +/- 0.15 (logarithm of stability constant values), respectively.
