Rational Design of Lanthanide-Binding Tags to Optimize Magnetic Anisotropy in Paramagnetic Protein NMR
Due to their exceptional anisotropic magnetic properties, lanthanide ion (Ln^(3+)) complexes are of great utility in many fields of chemistry, including magnetic materials, biomedical imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. How to achieve large magnetic anisotropies in the Ln^(3+) complexes coordinated with open-chain ligands is still a challenge. In this study, we started from the open-chain 4PS-PyMTA ligand and assessed the magnetic anisotropy using installed Ln^(3+)...
