Characterization of the cofactor-induced folding mechanism of a zinc-binding peptide using computationally designed mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Metals are the most commonly encountered protein cofactors, and they play important structural and functional roles in biology. In many cases, metal binding provides a major driving force for a polypeptide chain to fold. While there are many studies on the structure, stability, and function of metal-binding proteins, there are few studies focusing on understanding the kinetic mechanism of metal-induced folding....
