생체내에 존재하는 효소 등의 단백질은 그 골격을 이루는 아미노산 이외에 다양한 형태로 금속 원소들과 킬레이션을 이루고, 고유한 생리활성을 나타낸다. 단백질과 금속과의 킬레이션을 체계적으로 연구하기 위하여 가수분해하여 얻은 펩타이드와 Zn(II) 이온을 반응시키고, MALDI-TOF 질량분석기로 킬레이트 반응전 후의 펩타이드의 분자량을 측정하여 킬레이트 반응 생성물을 확인하는 분석법을 개발하고자 한다.

Omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) may be beneficial for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events (CVEs), especially in patients with myocardial infarction or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. For this purpose, one to two seafood meals per week is preferentially recommended. Omega-3 fatty acids with a high-dose EPA formula (4 g/day) may be more effective than EPA+DHA mixed supplements for the secondary prevention of CVE. Krill oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, but at a much lower dose compared to fish oil. Supplemental vitamins and minerals have not shown the preventive effects on CVE in prospective, and randomized clinical trials, except for one Chinese study showing the stroke prevention effects of folic acid. The clinical benefit of chelation therapy in reducing CVEs is uncertain.

Three novel potential metal ion chelating units have been synthesized and characterized: 5-hexylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5), 3-benzyloxy-4-hydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (6), and 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (7). The crystal structure of 6 was obtained and suggests the presence of three distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds, namely $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O]$ $[O-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O_{amide}]$ and $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}S]$. Boron chelation with 5, 6 and 7 through the use of $BF_3, \;B(OH)_3 \;or \;B(OMe)_3$ was probed by $^1H$, $^{11}B$, and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. Technetium (I) chelation with 5, 6 and 7 was also studied via HPLC elutions using $[^{99m}Tc(CO)_3(OH_2)_3]^+$.

Sphacelaria is a filamentous brown algal genus that can be epibiotic on macroalgae, marine plants, and sea turtles. Its important role in benthic ecosystems, exposure to different stressors (e.g., grazing), and use as a model organism make Sphacelaria ideal for assessing physiological responses of organisms to environmental inputs. Single-cell RNA sequencing is a powerful new probe for understanding environmental responses of organisms at the molecular (transcriptome) level, capable of delineating gene regulation in different cell types. In the case of plants, this technique requires protoplasts ("naked" plant cells). The existing protoplast isolation protocols for Sphacelaria use non-commercial enzymes and are low-yielding. This study is the first to report the production of protoplasts from Sphacelaria fusca (Hudson) S.F. Gray, using a combination of commercial enzymes, chelation, and osmolarity treatment. A simple combination of commercial enzymes (cellulase Onozuka RS, alginate lyase, and driselase) with chelation pretreatment and an increased osmolarity (2512 mOsm/L H₂O) gave a protoplast yield of 15.08 ± 5.31 × 10⁴ protoplasts/g fresh weight, with all the Sphacelaria cell types represented. Driselase had no crucial effect on the protoplast isolation. However, the increased osmolarity had a highly significant and positive effect on the protoplast isolation, and chelation pretreatment was essential for optimal protoplast yield. The protocol represents a significant step forward for studies on Sphacelaria by efficiently generating protoplasts suitable for cellular studies, including single-cell RNA sequencing and expression profiling.

Many studies have clarified that poly(${\gamma}$-glutamic acid) (PGA) increases the solubility of $Ca^{2+}$, suggesting that PGA enhances calcium absorption in the small intestine. However, there has been no report on the specific interaction between PGA and $Ca^{2+}$ in water. We studied the aqueous solution properties of PGA calcium salt (PGA-Ca complex). The chelating ability and binding strength of PGA for $Ca^{2+}$ were evaluated. The PGA-Ca complex was soluble in water, in contrast to the insolubility of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) calcium salt, and the chelating ability of PGA for $Ca^{2+}$ was almost the same as that of PAA. The globular conformation of the PGA-Ca complex in water was estimated by SEC and viscosity measurements. The chelation ability of PGA for $Ca^{2+}$ was examined by $^1H$ NMR. The present study showing the characteristics of the PGA-Ca complex will provide useful information about the calcium absorption by PGA in vivo.

Interactions between metal ions and chitosan in solution were studied by spectroscopic and viscometric measurements. $Cu^{++}$-chitosan complex exhibited an absorption band at 265 nm, whereas D-glucosamine complex showed one at 245 nm. The difference in ${\lambda}_{max}$ was attributed to the different amine to $Cu^{2+}$ ratios of the complexes, that is, 2 : 1 for chitosan and 1 : 1 for D-glucosamine. The molar absorptivities and binding constants of the complexes were evaluatatled. The binding of $Cu^{2+}$ to chitosan was cooperative near pH 5, and both intra- and intermolecular chelations depending on chitosan and $Cu^{2+}$concentrations were observed, The intermolecular chelation was stabilized by addition of salts. The cooperative intermolecular chelation of $Ni^{++}$ was also observed at pH 6.2. No significant binding of other divalent ions was observed. The reported high adsorption abilities of chitosan particles for these ions were attributed to the deposition of metal hydroxide aggregates in pores of chitosan particles rather than chelation to amine groups.

Over a few decades, copper radioisotopes and their chelation chemistry for radiopharmaceuticals have played crucial role in the radiopharmaceutical science area. A variety of chelators have been required for their stable targeting ability in physiological conditions. For radiolabeling with copper-64 into biomolecules, thermodynamic stability, kinetic inertness, pH stability, and redox stability should be considered. In this regard, many researchers have attempted to develop the chelators that can bind with copper more tightly, rapidly and stably for copper radiolabeling. This review discusses the chemistry of copper, its suitable chelators and characteristics, while elucidating the evaluations of each chelator for radiolabeling.
