S. Sakamoto et al., ANNEALING OF 2-ALPHA-HELIX STRUCTURE BY METAL-ION BINDING REGULATED WITH TRIFLUOROETHANOL, Chemistry Letters, (9), 1998, pp. 867-868
A designed two-alpha-helix peptide His-2 alpha bound effectively a tra
nsition metal ion, such as Cu2+ and Zn2+ in buffer containing 10-30% t
rifluoroethanol, with the alpha-helix structure being annealed by the
metal ion binding.
