The metal binding site of zoocin A [PDF]
JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2008 Direct metal analysis of the bacteriolytic exoenzyme zoocin A failed to unequivocally identify a putative metal cofactor; hence, indirect experiments utilizing NMR were undertaken to settle this question. Cd(2+) as a surrogate metal ion was reconstituted into EDTA-treated, metal-free recombinant zoocin, and (113)Cd-NMR was employed to explore binding ...

Spatial Layouts of Low‐Entropy Hydration Shells Guide Protein Binding
Global Challenges, 2023 Protein–protein binding enables orderly biological self‐organization and is therefore considered a miracle of nature. Protein‒protein binding is driven by electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force, and hydrophobic interactions.
