BBa_K231000 1 MBP Metal binding peptide 2009-10-20T11:00:00Z 2015-07-21T02:28:52Z Derived from peptide described in: Pazirandeh et al. Development of Bacterium-Based Heavy Metal Biosorbents: Enhanced Uptake of Cadmium and Mercury by Escherichia coli Expressing a Metal Binding Motif. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, October 1998, p. 4068-4072, Vol. 64, No. 10 This part codes for a peptide containing a metal binding motif. De novo design allows this peptide to have high affinity for metals. Affinity derives from Cys-Gly repeats. This peptide encodes two Cys-Gly-Cys-Cys-Gly repeats. Other metals besides arsenic, such as Cd and Hg, should be bound as well. false false _328_ 4206 2922 9 It's complicated true This peptide only contains two repeats of the metal binding motif due to size limitations when ordering oligos. Further repeats of the binding motif may enhance its function. false Daniel R Tarjan BBa_K231000_sequence 1 atgtgttgtggttgcggtaaaggtcattgttgtggttgtggtaaaggtcat igem2sbol 1 iGEM to SBOL conversion Conversion of the iGEM parts registry to SBOL2.1 Chris J.
