Figure 1

Schematic diagrams of five amino acids. Uncommon atom symbols: Cc – carboxylato group carbon; Cad – amido group carbon; Nam – amino group nitrogen; Nad – amido group nitrogen; Oad – amido group oxygen; Oh – hydroxyl group oxygen. Donor atoms for binding with metal ions are denoted by violet and yellow circles as follows: amino Nam and carboxylato O atoms common to all amino acids (violet), and side-chain atoms specific for each amino acid (yellow)
