Nerve Growth Factor Peptides Bind Copper(II) with High Affinity: A Thermodynamic Approach to Unveil Overlooked Neurotrophin Roles
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a protein essential to neurons survival, which interacts with its receptor as a non-covalent dimer. Peptides belonging to NGF N-terminal domain are able to mimic the activity of the whole protein. Such activity is affected by the presence of copper ions. The metal is rel...
