A nonacosapeptide corresponding to the N-terminal sequence 1-29 (β-fragment) of human liver metallothionein II (hMT II) was synthesized by the azide coupling of five peptide fragments [1, 2, 4, 6 and 8], followed by HF deprotection and its heavy metal-binding properties were examined. It was revealed that the Cd-binding ability of the synthetic β-fragment as well as synthetic α-fragment corresponding to the C-terminal sequence 30-61 of hMT II was stronger than that of native rat thionein. Moreover, it was found that both the α-and β-fragments bound preferentially to Cu ions rather than Cd ions.
通过
叠氮偶联五种肽段[1、2、4、6和8],然后进行高频
脱保护,合成了对应于人肝

硫蛋白II(h
MT II)N端序列1-29(β-片段)的非酰肽,并考察了其重
金属结合特性。结果表明,与 h
MT II C 端序列 30-61 相应的合成 β 片段和合成 α 片段的
