| Abstract | Combined potentiometric, calorimetric and spectroscopic methods were used to investigate the Cu2+ binding ability and coordination behaviour of some peptide fragments related to the neurotoxic region of chicken Prion Protein. The systems studied were the following protein fragments: chPrP106–114, chPrP119–126, chPrP108–127, chPrP105–127 and chPrP105–133. The complex formation always starts around pH 4 with the coordination of an imidazole nitrogen, followed by the deprotonation and binding of amide nitrogens from the peptidic backbone. At neutral pH, the {Nim, 3N−} binding mode is the preferred one. The amide nitrogens participating in the binding to the Cu2+ ion derive from residues from the N-terminus side, with the formation of a six-membered chelate ring with the imidazolic side chain. Comparison of thermodynamic data for the two histydyl binding domains (around His-110 and His-124), clearly indicates that the closest to the hexarepeat domain (His-110) has the highest ability to bind Cu2+ ions, although both of them have the same coordination mode. Conversely, in the case of the human neurotoxic peptide region, between the two binding sites, located at His-96 and His-111, the farthest from the tandem repeat region is the strongest one. Finally, thermodynamic data show that chicken peptide is a distinctly better ligand for coordination of copper ions with respect to the human fragment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
