Design of a novel metal binding peptide by molecular dynamics simulation to sequester Cu and Zn ions

Heavy metal toxicity has serious adverse effects on the environment. The metal sequestering characteristics of a novel metal binding peptide (Glu-Cys)(11) Gly+linker+hexahistidine (EC(11):His(6)) was investigated to determine if it can absorb Cu(2+) or Zn(2+) cations. Molecular dynamics simulations...
