Metal binding affinity and selectivity of peptides are reviewed with a special emphasis on the
high structural variety of peptide complexes. The most common structural type of these …

Numerous studies have demonstrated the high metal binding capacity and selectivity of
peptide molecules. The terminal amino group, deprotonated amide nitrogens, and various …

/. Introduction The cation-macrocycle portion of this review was treated in two earlier
Chemical Reviews articles (19741 and 19852). The present review updates this material …

The N‐terminal octapeptide repeat region of human prion protein (PrPc) is known to bind
CuII. To investigate the binding modes of copper in PrPc, an octapeptide Ac‐PHGGGWGQ …

Background: There is mounting urgency to find new drugs for the treatment of
neurodegenerative disorders. A large number of reviews have exhaustively described either …

The generation of hydroxyl radicals (• OH) from the reaction of Cu (II) complexes with
biological reductants such as ascorbic acid, glutathione, acetylcysteine, and hydroquinone …

Copper (II) complexes of the peptides Ac-HisSarHis-NH2, Ac-HisSarHisSarHis-NH2 and Ac-
HisSarHisSarHisSarHis-NH2 have been studied by potentiometric, UV–Vis, CD and EPR …

[Cu (imidazole) 4] 2+. The experimental results at high molar ratios at both room and low
temperatures give evidence of the formation of a well-characterized four-coordinated …

The synthesis of the tetrapeptides Ala-Gly-Gly-His, Boc-Ala-Gly-Gly-His (Boc= t-
butoxycarbonyl), Ala-Gly-Gly-His (π-bom)(π-bom= Nπ-benzoxymethyl), Ala-Gly-Gly-His …

In this paper, we report the characterization of copper (II) complexes with two prion (PrP)
protein peptide fragment analogues (VNITKQHTVTTTT), one with the N-terminus acetylated …
