Abstract excerpt
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli contains one tightly bound zinc atom per subunit. The region encompassing residues 138 to 163 of this enzyme is responsible for the metal binding. A 28-mer peptide corresponding to these residues was expressed in vivo and shown to contain approximately 1 mol of tightly bound Zn/mol of peptide. In this study, the three-dimensional solution structure of this peptide...
