Summary Linusorbs ( LO s; a.k.a. cyclolinopeptides) are naturally occurring orbitides derived from flaxseed. These compounds consist of 8–10 amino acid residues, which are linked via an N ‐ to C‐terminal peptide bond with molecular masses of approximately 1  kD a. The LO circular structure makes them candidates for metal binding studies. Flaxseed extracts are known to suppress Pb and Cd toxicity. Hence, four metal salts surveyed include Zn( CH 3 COO ) 2 , Zn SO 4 , Pb( CH 3 COO ) 2 and Cd( NO 3 ) 2 with pure LO s 1–5 . Proton NMR spectra indicated interaction of LO s with metal salts in solution and were used to determine impacts of methionine oxidation on interactions with metal ions. The methyl group of methionine S,S ‐ dioxide of related LO s did not show the same shift in the presence of Zn( CH 3 COO ) 2 and Pb( CH 3 COO ) 2 observed in their methionine S ‐ oxide analogues. Metal complexes were observed forming at 10 −2   m to 10 −4   m but not at lower concentrations (10 −5   m to 10 −8   m ). Mass spectrometry data confirmed that metal binding strength varied by metal in the order Zn( CH 3 COO ) 2
