Proteins may often require metal ligands for its structure and biochemical activity. A DNA-digesting enzyme contains an active site for a metal ion surrounded by cysteine (R-SH) residues. Based on the HSAB classification, what is the metal ion most likely responsible for it's activity? Mg2+ Fe3+ O Zn2+ O Na*
