Abstract excerpt
Specific peptides of varying lengths were inserted between the two metal cluster domains of metallothionein (MT), which normally are spanned by only three amino acids, Lys-Lys-Ser. These interdomain expansions were made to test if such structural alterations would affect MT function. These constructs were engineered by inserting defined oligonucleotides of up to four tandem repeats of dodecanucleotides and...
