Abstract
En 中文
• Inspired by the Calmodulin EF-hand, a novel metal-binding MESD-peptide variant was designed for enhanced stability. • Reference points: The study utilized previously experimentally validated full-length MESD and its C-terminal-derived peptide for comparison with the calcium bound variant • Improved stability: The newly designed peptide exhibits superior structural stability, demonstrated with higher helicity and improved hydrogen bond network. • Higher affinity: MMPBSA analysis demonstrates significantly stronger binding to the second functional domain of LRP6.
