a. Metalloproteins form when metal ions make coordinate bonds with the side chains of amino acids in a protein. Circle all of the atoms in the side chains of the amino acids shown below that can form a coordinate bond with a metal. Circle only the atoms in the side chains (
Rgroups) of the amino acid. Circle individual atoms, not side chains. Some side chains may not contain atoms that can engage in coordinate bonding. b. The zinc (II) coordination complex shown below is used in the development of drugs targeting certain metalloproteins. Only a partial structure is shown, but it includes all coordinate bonds. Indicate whether the structure is paramagnetic, diamagnetic, or that this cannot be determined from the information given. In no more than 3 sentences, justify your answer. Circle one: Paramagnetic
,Diamagnetic Cannot be determined from information given Write your justification below (no more than 3 sentences):
