Complexation of zinc ions by the phytochelatin PC2
Šestáková, Ivana ; Serrano, N. ; Diaz-Cruz, J. M. ; Arino, C.
Contrary to mammaliam metallothioneins, where Zn(II) is coordinated by four sulphur atoms, no structural studies are available for complexes of Zn- phytochelatins. Based on earlier experiences with electrochemical study of complexes of simplest phytochelatin-PC2- with cadmium ions, voltammetry and constant current chronopotentiometry on HMDE were used to study complexation of this phytochelatin with zinc ions. Overlapping of signals was overcome by the application of multivariate curve resolution method by alternating least squares. As result, structures with two or four sulphur atoms participating on Zn(II) complexation were suggested.
