Metalloglycomics: a new perspective upon competitive metal-carbohydrate binding using EPR spectroscopy.
Ternary complexes formed between calcium, the oxochromium(v) ion and N-acetylneuraminic (sialic) acid (naH(6)) of the form, Ca(ii)-oxoCr(v)-naH(6), have electronic structures and equilibrium distributions distinct from the binary oxoCr(v)-naH(6) analogues, as illustrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
