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
Preparation is described as deprotonating lysine to lysinate and complexing with a magnesium salt such as
Properties attributed to MgdyLyksiköin include a white crystalline solid with good water solubility for a magnesium
Applications in the fictional setting include serving as a teaching example in coordination chemistry, a model
Etymology and naming: the name combines the chemical symbol Mg with a stylized form of lysine, reflecting
