Abstract
As mentioned in Chapters 8 and 9, the useful functions of MAAs, such as
the anti-glycative property and collagenase inhibitory activity, might be associated with
their metal chelating activity. Although there are few reports on the metal-chelating
activity of MAAs, a chelating model of MAAs and metal ions has recently been
proposed. This chapter briefly summarizes these observations.
