Abstract

The unit-peptide, cadystin, of cadmium-binding peptides occurring in a fission yeast, S. pombe was determined to have structure H-γ-Glu-Cys-γ-Glu-Cys-Cys-γ-glu-Gly-OH; all Glu and two cys being L-form, whereas one of the Cys's D-form. ... Authentic samples of compound 2 and 3 were prepared as follows: glutamic acid γ-methyl ester was treated with benzoyl chloride (2.5 equiv) and triethylamine (5.0 equiv) in dichloromethane at room temp for 12 hr to form the ...
