Specific metallo-protein interactions and antimicrobial activity in Histatin-5, an intrinsically disordered salivary peptide

Histatin-5 (Hst-5) is an antimicrobial, salivary protein that is involved in the host defense system. Hst-5 has been proposed to bind functionally relevant zinc and copper but presents challenges in structural studies due to its disordered conformation in aqueous solution. Here, we used circular dic...
