Proteins can make use of metal ions to bind substrates, maintain structure, to effect catalysis, and for control and regulation. In order to hold a particular ion with high affinity and specificity, proteins form multidentate pockets designed to fulfill both the chemical and bonding requirements of that metal. Metal recognition be engineered into proteins for applications such as protein .
