Abstract

Abstract: A novel metal ion-assisted self-organizing molecular process is described by which a small peptide has been assembled into a large and topologically predetermined protein tertiary structure. The intrinsic binding energy of a metal ion coordination complex as well as the stringent geometrical requirements present for a strong metal ion-ligand interaction has been exploited to control the oligomeric state as well as the relative orientation of peptide ...
