Briefly describe which biomolecules metal ions can form complexes with and explain their interaction sites.
The main groups involved in coordination with metal ions in amino acids are sulfhydryl group of cysteine, imidazole group of histidine, carboxyl group of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, phenol group of tyrosine and methylthio group of methionine.

The N7 site of guanine and adenine in DNA has the lowest electronegativity and is the main site of metal ion binding.
