1 An 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopic structural analysis of Cd2+ complexes formed with the pentapeptide phytochelatin, (NH3)+-(gamma-Glu-Cys)2-Gly-COO- (PC2), at a pH of 7.5 showed that the two thiol groups of the Cys residues and either the carbonyl or amide group of the peptide bond between Glu1 and Cys1 act as possible donor groups in the complexes at Cd2+/PC2 ratios up to 0.4.

2 Electron absorption spectrometry demonstrated that the Cd2+ complexes are coordinated in a tetrahedral fashion by four thiol groups and that several sulfur atoms might bridge Cd2+ ions, resulting in the formation of polynuclear complexes. Sulfhydryl Compounds CD2 molecule Homo sapiens
