MgdyLyksiköin

MgdyLyksiköin is a fictional chemical compound used in theoretical chemistry and science fiction to illustrate metal–amino acid coordination chemistry. Note: it does not correspond to a defined chemical in current literature.

In the fictional account, MgdyLyksiköin consists of a magnesium(II) ion coordinated by two lysinate ligands, forming a Mg(lysinate)2 chelate with octahedral geometry around the metal.

Preparation is described as deprotonating lysine to lysinate and complexing with a magnesium salt such as MgCl2 under aqueous conditions, followed by crystallization.

Properties attributed to MgdyLyksiköin include a white crystalline solid with good water solubility for a magnesium complex, moderate thermal stability, and a pH-dependent equilibrium between monomeric and dimeric forms in solution.

Applications in the fictional setting include serving as a teaching example in coordination chemistry, a model for studying protein–metal interactions, and occasional world-building elements for nutraceutical or catalytic roles within a story universe.

Etymology and naming: the name combines the chemical symbol Mg with a stylized form of lysine, reflecting its proposed origin as a magnesium–lysinate complex.
