G5Q7

This peptide is expected to be a palladium reducing peptide. This peptide is modified by our team from the palladium reducing peptide Q7(Chiu et al., 2010). We have incorporated a glutamine residue at position 5, glutamine was reported as a strong binder, glutamine residues were also found in the active sites of various palladium binding proteins, suggesting an active role in binding. We wish to explore its effects in this peptide.

This peptide has an isoelectric point of 6.0, a molecular weight of 0.80 kDa and hydrophobicity of 16.68. The serine residue at positions 3 and 7 are reported to be important in binding with palladium(Chiu et al., 2010). The tryptophan residue at position 4 is reported to reduce palladium(Chiu et al., 2010). The amino acid sequence of the peptide is QQSWGIS.
