Co3+ and Fe3+ complexes of transferrin with bound 13C-en-riched (bi) carbonate have been studied at 68 MHz. Infor-mation has been obtained about the mechanism of metal binding, the spatial relationship of the metal and the anion binding sites, theionization state of the anion, the protein ligation of the anion, and differencesin the properties of the two anion binding sites. The spectrum of the Co3+ 2 complex contains a doublet resonance due to nonexchanging anion and three resonances due to exchanging anions. The nonex-changing anion is bound at the B site, and on the basis of its chemical shift value and its pH behavior we concluded that it is carbonate. The exchanging anions are bound at the A site, and they are assigned to bound bicarbonate and a protein-carbamino adduct. In thespectra of the Fe3+ 2 complex, no resonances corresponding to specifically bound anion are observed since these 13C resonances are broadened beyond detection by interaction with the paramagnetic Fe3+. In a previous study at 25 MHz, it was similarly observed that the 13C resonances were broadened beyond detection, but due toTransferrin, the iron-transport protein of human serum, has two metal binding sites, each of which binds a ferric ion only when a stereochemically suitable anion is concomitantly bound (Warner & Weber, 1953; Aisen et al., 1967; Price & Gibson, 1972; Bates & Schlabach, 1975). The metal binding sites are capable of binding a number of di-and trivalent metal ions, including Co3+ and Cu2+(Aasa & Aisen, 1968; Aisen et al., 1969; Zweier & Aisen, 1977). The role of the anion in Fe3+ binding and release has been questioned, and there is evidence that the mechanism for the delivery of iron to the reticulocyte involves an attack by the reticulocyte on the bound anion (Aisen & Leibman, 1973). A number of studies have been performed to determine the spatial relationship of the bound metal and anion (Harris et al., 1974; Harris & Aisen, 1975b; Najarían et al., 1978). Recently, it has been demonstrated that the anion inthe Cu2+-transferrin-oxalate complex is directly bound to the metal (Zweier et al., 1979). However, it has not been determined if the anion is bound to Fe3+ in the
