Zinc in its 2+ oxidation state is an essential metal ion for life. Zn2+ is found bound to many proteins that are involved in biological processes, but unfortunately Zn2+ is hard to detect by common chemical methods. Therefore, scientists who are interested in studying Zn2+- containing proteins will frequently substitute Cd2+ for Zn2+ since Cd2+ is easier to detect. Based on the properties from this chapter and their positions in the periodic tables, provide one pro and one con of using Cd2+ as a Zn2+ substitute?
