Abstract excerpt
Zinc(II) and cobalt(II) binding to a series of zinc finger peptides with different charged residue pairs across from one another in a beta-sheet were examined. Previous studies revealed a narrow range of interaction free energies (<0.5 kcal/mol) between these residues. Here, isothermal titration calorimetry studies were performed, revealing a range of over 3 kcal/mol in relative binding enthalpies. Double mutant...
