Theoretical isotopic fractionation of magnesium between chlorophylls

Abstract Magnesium is the metal at the center of all types of chlorophyll and is thus crucial to photosynthesis. When an element is involved in a biosynthetic pathway its isotopes are fractionated based on the difference of vibrational frequency between the different molecules. With the technical ad...
