“Collectively, ribosomes and other negatively charged macromolecules and metabolites buffer free Mg2+ near 1 mM, with a range of ∼0.3 to 3 mM.5,8,71,72”

In the citing paper
“Although many Mg2+-dependent enzymes bind to ATP:Mg2+ (or other substrate:Mg2+ complexes), a subset form relatively stable associations with Mg2+ (Kd of 10–100 μM),71 and it is possible that some of this Mg2+ may be functionally sequestered.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
