A6C11(Coppage et al., 2013)

A6C11 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 9.0, a molecular weight of 1.25kDa and hydrophobicity of 24.06. The alanine residue at position 6 has a minimal binding with palladium while the cysteine residue at position 11 has a strong binding with palladium, it was suggested that this may have higher efficiency(Coppage et al., 2013). The arginine residue at position 10 is reported to coordinate with palladium(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 TSNAVAPTLRCL.
