  • (13) For this purpose, bidentate ligands as hydroxamate and N-hydroxy-N-formylamino groups were selected as highly potent metal coordinating agents and introduced on Phe-Gly and Phe-Ala related structures.
  • (14) In order to investigate the function of Asp-327, a bidentate ligand of one of the zinc atoms in Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, and the importance of this zinc atom in catalysis, site-specific mutagenesis was used to convert Asp-327 to either asparagine or alanine.
  • (15) Bidentate or tridentate ligands on the other hand are able to attack the zinc ion directly; the rates are first order in enzyme and first order in ligand.
  • (16) All members of the new family contain a 1,3-dioxane or 1,3-dioxolane-1,3-diamine as their basic ligand, a moiety which contributes to their increased water solubility, and a bidentate acid ligand, which is responsible for their good stability.
