Interacting selectively and non-covalently with magnesium (Mg) ions. The formation of bonds from two or more atoms within the same ligand to a metal atom in complexes in which the metal is part of a ring. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with cations, charged atoms or groups of atoms with a net positive charge. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with calcium ions (Ca2+). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ions, charged atoms or groups of atoms. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transition metal ions; a transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with lead (Pb) ions. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any alkali metal ion; alkali metals are those elements in group Ia of the periodic table, with the exception of hydrogen. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion.
