| Fluorine atoms are highly electronegative, which gives the CF bond a large dipole moment. The ALAD 2 allele has been shown to modify the toxicokinetics of lead by coding for a more electronegative enzyme that may bind positively charged lead ions more tightly than does the ALAD-1 protein (Wetmur 1994; Wetmur et al. 174 TRAYLOR PS,J CHEM S CH,vol ,page 0279,1984,cites= 23,STERICALLY PROTECTED HEMINS WITH ELECTRONEGATIVE SUBSTITUENTS - EFFICIENT CATALYSTS FOR HYDROXYLATION AND EPOXIDATION |
