Title:
PEPTIDES DESIGNED TO SWITCH FOLDED STATE UPON BINDING METALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006051313
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A peptide having sequence and structural duality that can reversibly switch between a first structural form and a second structural form in response to an agent, wherein the peptide comprises interactive motifs that interact to form a bond in response to the agent and thereby cause the peptide to assume the second structural form, wherein the second structural form includes an agent binding site.
