Cyclic Octapeptides Composed of Two Glutathione Units Outperform the Monomer in Lead Detoxification

A rationally‐designed scaffold of cyclic octapeptides composed of two units of the natural tripeptide glutathione (GSH) was optimized to strongly and selectively capture toxic lead ions (Pb(II)). Using state‐of‐the‐art computational tools, a list of eleven plausible peptides was shortened to five an...
