TLDR
The interaction of the vanadyl (IV) (VO2+) cation with carnosine (the dipeptide β-alanyl-histidine) has been investigated by electron absorption spectroscopy at high ligand-to-metal ratios and at different pH values and results show that in the range 6.0–8.5, the cation interacts with the imidazole group of four different Carnival molecules and points to the presence of an axially coordinated water
Abstract
The interaction of the vanadyl (IV) (VO2+) cation with carnosine (the dipeptide beta-alanyl-histidine) has been investigated by electron absorption spectroscopy at high ligand-to-metal ratios and at different pH values. The results show that in the range 6.0-8.5, the cation interacts with the imidazole group of four different carnosine molecules and points to the presence of an axially coordinated water molecule. These suppositions were confirmed by the behavior of the VO2+/imidazole system, which was investigated under similar experimental conditions, and supported by previous ENDOR (electron-nuclear double resonance) results. The study was complemented with additional measurements using the glycylglycine, glycylglycine/imidazole, and histidine systems as ligands.

The Bioinorganic Chemistry of Vanadium

Dieter Rehder
- 01 Feb 1991 - 
TL;DR: Despite its importance as a “biometal” both in primitive, prokaryotic organisms and in the highly organized ascidians, the bioinorganic chemistry of vanadium is still in its infancy.
