“… 20 During the preparation of this manuscript, a preprint stated that LanM is able to bind actinium with a higher affinity compared to, for example, the REE yttrium. 21 Previously, an NMR structure of LanM with Y 3+ has been reported, and during the review process of this manuscript a study demonstrating binding of Am and Cm to LanM, was published. 19,22 Here, we evaluate the potential of LanM to bind the An neptunium, plutonium, americium and curium and compare the relative binding affinity § § Here we use the term relative binding affinity, because absolute values cannot be obtained from the competition experiment performed.…”
