“…There are few significant reasons that prompted us to use these buffers in the study. First of all, Mes, Pipes, and Caco are widely used in biological experiments as well as in calorimetric studies and are capable to maintain a pH of 6. Moreover, the binding constants ( K MB ) and the enthalpies of complexation (Δ H o MB ) of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions with Mes, Pipes, and Caco are known .…”

“…These buffer substances are widely used in biological experiments as well as in calorimetric studies (Good et al, 1966;Christensen et al, 2003;Wyrzykowski and Chmurzyński, 2010;Deegan et al, 2011;Wyrzykowski et al, 2011;Ghai et al, 2012;Sorokin et al, 2012). However, to the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on the interactions of such buffers with the zinc ions that are omnipresent in biological systems (Vallee and Auld, 1990;Dudev and Lim, 2000).…”

“…Divalent metal ions play an important role in the functionality and the conformation stability of biopolymers [6]. e numerous data on metal complexes of the natural DNA and double-stranded homopolynucleotides containing pairs of canonical nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine) are already available [1,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. It is known that the main binding sites of metal ions to polynucleotides are oxygen atoms of phosphate groups, as well as nitrogen or oxygen atoms of nitrogenous bases [10,[12][13][14].…”

It is known that the main binding sites of metal ions to polynucleotides are oxygen atoms of phosphate groups, as well as nitrogen or oxygen atoms of nitrogenous bases [10,[12][13][14]. It is shown that alkali and alkaline earth metal ions interact predominantly with phosphate groups resulting in stabilization of the structure of nucleic acids.…”
