metal-nucleotide complexation.
« on: April 10, 2006, 10:02:53 AM »
Hi
Does anyone now anyhting about what work has been done on metallic ions binding to nucleotides. Particularly I am interested in Fe(II) and deoxyadenosinemonophosphate. Anyone know of any papers on this?

In the splicing reactions which remove introns from pre-mRNA, the nucleotides of the U6 snRNA coordinate two divalent cations (usually Mg2+) in order to catalyze the splicing reaction.  I don't know of any examples of nucleotides binding Fe, however.
