Uranyl ion (UO22+) is commonly used to form heavy-atom derivatives of proteins for X-ray crystallography. Given that the uranyl ion is a relatively hard ion, what sorts of functional groups would you expect to be derived? How does this behavior compare to that expected for another heavy-metal derivatizing ion, Hg2+?
