Table 1. Comparison of Conditional Cu(II) Binding Constants of the Studied Peptides at pH = 7.4 (CK7.4), Compared to These Constants Determined Previously by Other Methods and Publisheda.
| peptide sequence (name) | published log CK7.4b | log Kd ± SD from serial dilution ESI-MS experiment in this study | log ratio log Kd (ESI-MS) – log CK7.4 (published) | range of concentrations in this study (μM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTHFPI-NH2(hepc6) | 14.7c | 7.6 ± 0.7 | –7.1 | 100–0.01 |
| MNH-NH2 | 14.5d | 6.3 ± 0.4 | –8.2 | 100–2 |
| FRHDSG (Aβ4–9) | 14.2e | 6.9 ± 0.9 | –5.3 | 100–1 |
| FRHDSGYEVHHQK-NH2 (Aβ4–16) | 13.5f | 7.0 ± 0.2 | –6.5 | 100–0.5 |
| MDH-NH2 | 13.1d | 7.1 ± 0.6 | –6.0 | 100–1 |
| GGH | 12.2g | 6.0 ± 0.5 | –6.2 | 100–10 |
Standard deviation of ESI-MS experimental values are given in parentheses. Logarithmic values are given for better clarity. The published log CK7.4 values were determined by potentiometry and corroborated by spectroscopic methods.
The SD values were considerably less than 0.1 log unit in all cases.
