Hi, once upon a time I found myself interested in this topic, which prompted my to read these papers:
1993 Gregory 2004 Harding 1996 Nayal 2005 Babor 1998 Rulisek 2005 Sommerhalter 1999 Harding 2006 Dudev 2000 Harding 2006 Harding 2000 Harding_2 2006 Stefan 2001 Pidcock 2007 Tamames 2002 Harding 2007 Weiss 2002 Mueller 2008 Goyal 2002 Thaimattam 2008 Hsin 2002 Weiss 2008 Seebeck 2003 Dudev 2008 Zheng_Minor 2009 Hemavathi I should say that was rewarding! (P.S.: Sorry, I did not bother to open each PDF and copy the full article citation, instead just fetched year and name with a script. Those who interested can find these papers on the web or I can send more details off list) All the best, Pavel On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 12:54 PM, Navdeep Sidhu <nsi...@shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de>wrote: > Dear Jacob, > > Another publication I found useful on this topic: > > Is the bond-valence method able to identify metal atoms in protein > structures? > Mueller et al.
