Potentiometric and spectroscopic studies on Cu(II) interactions with 140-14
6 fragment of tile hepatitis B virus antigen have shown that the basic bind
ing sites of metal ion are centered at a peptide N-terminal donor system an
d the side chain donor atoms are not competing in the metal ion coordinatio
