Abstract

Zinc(II) complexes of macrocyclic polyamines 1, 2 and 3 make good models for zinc enzyme (e.g., carbonic anhydrase, alcohol dehydrogenase, phosphatase) active centers. Intrinsic acid properties of ZnII pertinent to the biological functions are disclosed. Zinc(II) ion is not only important kinetically but it also plays an indispensable role thermodynamically. © 1993 IUPAC
