Abstract excerpt
Polyhistidine-tags are often used for the affinity purification of polyhistidine-tagged recombinant proteins. These sequences are also found in nature and are often highly conserved across different species. However, their exact role in the biological systems is not clear. The purpose of this work is to shed light on the behavior of poly-His sequences in their interactions with metal ions. This work illustrates...
