Crystal structure of Zinc pterin complex
What is it about?
Pterins (2- amino -4- oxidopteridines) are present in a wide range of biological functions including a large number of metalloenzymes . Even the biochemical importance of zinc–pterin interaction has been established X-ray structurally Literature survey revels the existence of only one x-ray structurally characterized zinc(II)–pterin complex.The present effort is concerned with the title complex, possessing both a tridentate pterin ligand and a π-acceptor ancillary ligand like 1, 10—phenanthroline (phen).
