Pd4 (Pacardo et al., 2009)

Pd4 is a palladium binding peptide. It is used as a library peptide in our project to act as a template for our mutations. The results of molecular dynamics for our modified peptides are also compared with this peptide. This peptide has an isoelectric point of 11.1, a molecular weight of 1.35 kDa and hydrophobicity of 21.38. The histidine residues at positions 6 and 11 are reported to bind to palladium and arginine is reported to coordinate with palladium in the literature of which the peptide is discovered(Pacardo et al., 2009). The serine and threonine residues at positions 1 and 2 are also reported to be important in binding with palladium(Sarikaya et al., 2003). The amino acid sequence is TSNAVHPTLRHL.
