Studying the State of Cellular Metal Ions by the Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure.

Abstract

The edge spectrum is a sensitive probe of local chemistry. Each chemical environment measured here gives a unique edge spectrum. Hydrated potassium also has a unique spectrum which is insensitive to counterions. Comparing spectra we find that the chemical state of potassium in cells differs appreciably from that in aqueous solutions. (Author)
