✦ Synopsis
Recent studies on Cu(I1) complexes with proline containing peptides have shown that the proline residue may act as a 'break-point' in the peptide sequence unless it is on a N-terminal position [ 1,3].
The lysine residue, on the other hand, may in specific cases bind the metal ion via its lateral NH2 group [2]. The dog double tuftsin octapeptide, Thr-Lys-Pro-Lys-Thr-Lys-Pro-Lys, contains both Pro and Lys residues and its coordination ability was checked in the system with cupric ions.
