The N-terminal octapeptide repeat region of human prion protein (PrP c ) is known to bind Cu II . To investigate the binding modes of copper in PrP c , an octapeptide Ac-PHGGGWGQ-NH 2 (1), which corresponds to an octarepeat sequence, and a tetrapeptide Ac-HGGG-NH 2 (2) have been synthesised. The cop
