Engineering strontium binding affinity in an EF-hand motif: a quantum chemical and molecular dynamics study.

Abstract excerpt

Proteins with the ability to specifically bind strontium would potentially be of great use in the field of nuclear waste management. Unfortunately, no such peptides or proteins are known -- indeed, it is uncertain whether they exist under natural conditions due to low environmental concentrations of strontium. To investigate the possibility of devising such molecules, one of us (CV), in a previous experimental...
