Comparison of Fluorescence, 31P NMR, and 7Li NMR Spectroscopic Methods for Investigating Li+/Mg2+ Competition for Biomolecules

The biochemical action of lithium in the treatment of manic-depressive illness is still unknown. One hypothesis is that Li+ competes for Mg2+-binding sites in biomolecules. We report here our studies on metal ion competition by three distinct methods: fluorescence, 31P NMR, and 7Li NMR spectroscopy,...
