摘要
EGTA is a kind of highly selective calcium-binding chelate, whose preference for the binding of Ca<sup>2+</sup> over Mg<sup>2+</sup> is about 10<sup>6</sup>, therefore it is considered as a model for the binding sites in calcium-binding proteins. Although the crystal structure of Ca (EGTA) has been reported, its structure in aqueous solution is still unclear. Considering that Ca<sup>2+</sup> ionic radius (0.99(?)) falls in the range for those of lanthanide series (1.06—0.85(?)), Ln (EGTA) (Ln=La, Y, Lu and Sc) is studied in this note so as to
