Abstract
COMPLEXONS are of interest to biologists from various points of view: (1) their ability to affect sharply the behaviour of polyvalent metals in organisms; (2) their applicability as models for complex-forming substances (amino-, nucleic and other acids) naturally occurring in organisms. The ability of complexons to decrease the deposition of different metals in tissues and to increase their excretion from the organism have found a vast application in therapy of metal and radioisotopic poisoning.
