Hyperchem MM + 2 calculation for the FeL2 complex from a decapeptide prepared from Mytilus edulis foot protein 1. The two decapeptide ligands appear to interact to stabilize the complex and prevent dissociation. The log Ktherm estimated is 40.2 vs. 34.7 for the bis(catechol) complex. The Fe atom bound to six oxygen atoms is in the upper left part of the figure.
