Possible Interaction: Phosphorus and Magnesium Cation

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Magnesium cations are found equidistant and bridging between the phosphorus atoms of different phosphate chains, leading to a shorter phosphorus-phosphorus second neighbour distance (that is, a more compact packing of neighbouring phosphate chains) compared to the effect of sodium cations.

Magnesium ion indirectly activates water attack of the phosphorus atom by freeing one of the active site carboxylate residues, D70, to act as a general base through its four first-shell water molecules, which prevent D70 from binding directly to Mg(2+).

Increased intake of magnesium ions routinely decreases urinary phosphorus and fecal calcium causing their balance to become more positive.
