Abstract: It has been proved that in the Zn(Ⅱ)-HSAand Zn(Ⅱ)-BSAcomplexes, the in-ternuclear distance between Zn(Ⅱ) and its nearest binding atoms is 0.201 nm and 0.203 nm, the coordinate number is about four, the coordinate atoms are probably nitrogen atoms, and the possibility of sulfur of cysteine binding to Zn(Ⅱ) is basically excluded. The results are consequently discussed.
