Filling a gap : A trinuclear oxo–zirconium( IV ) cluster readily assembles in the “venus fly trap” binding cleft of bacterial transferrin (see picture; cluster: Zr green, O red, P yellow; protein: β sheets cyan, Tyr pink, Arg dark blue). Its structure was determined by EXAFS and X‐ray crystallography.
