Abstract excerpt
[reaction: see text] We have investigated the factors that contribute to binding of ATP by a designed 12-residue beta-hairpin peptide, WKWK, and have determined its selectivity for binding to the naturally occurring nucleotide triphosphates. We have previously shown that WKWK creates an ATP binding pocket on one face of the beta-hairpin consisting of two Trp and two Lys residues. Mutation of the two Lys residues...
