METAL AMINO-ACID (OR PEPTIDE)-NUCLEOSIDE (OR RELATED BASES) TERNARY COMPLEXES

The knowledge of simultaneous metal ion interaction with proteins and nucleic acids is one of the most exciting subjects inside the Inorgani c Biochemistry. In the last years, several groups have published artic les on the synthesis and characterization of ternary complexes bringin g relevant data on the structure and stability of metallobiomolecules. In this short review, the last contributions found in the literature are collected. Comments on the factors influencing the behaviour and s tability of these systems are offered.
