Abstract
Solution-phase spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are used to probe interactions between divalent metal ions and a synthetic Cys 2His 2 zinc-finger peptide (vCP1). Both methods provide the same order of binding affinity, zinc ≥ cobalt ≫ copper ≫ calcium. Collision-cross-section measurements show that both apo and holo forms are compact. This is corroborated by molecular-dynamics simulations. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
