“This suggestion is corroborated by the fact that a magnesium cation is coordinated by two aspartic acid residues present at the active site (between N- and C-terminal domains), as evidenced by X-ray diffraction data.”
“Incubation of D with purified B and CoVF in the presence of Mg++ resulted in cleavage of B, as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis.”
“In the presence of Mg++ (1.2 mM), the effect of L-Glu decreased by about 40%; L-Asp and NMDA lost completely their activity while the effects of kainic acid, QA and AMPA did not change significantly.”
