“…Similar comparisons of the bonding geometry of copper(II) and zinc in complexes with biological ligands had either yielded closely similar structures in the case of glutamic acid (Gramaccioli, 1966;Gramaccioli & Marsh, 1966) or, with L-serine, structures with small but distinct differences (Van der Helm & Franks, 1969; Van der Helm, Nicholas & Fisher, 1970). In addition metal replacement studies show that copper(II) often inactivates zinc enzymes (Vallee, Riordan & Colman, 1964;Linskog & Nyman, 1964;Plocke & VaUee, 1962).…”
