Figure 4. Binding of Na⁺ (figure-A), K⁺ (figure-C), Mg²⁺ (figure-E) and Ca²⁺ (figure-G) with AFB1 in O₁₈-O₂₂ position. Binding of Na⁺ (figure-B), K⁺ (figure-D), Mg²⁺ (figure-F) and Ca²⁺ (figure-H) with AFB1 in O₁₀-O₁₃ position. Cations bind through O₁₀ and O₁₃ forming a four- membered ring whereas binding through O₁₈ and O₂₂ occurs by the formation of six-membered ring. In six membered ring, cations get closer to both oxygen atoms resulting in higher binding energy
