Zn(II) ions bind very efficiently to tandem repeat region of prion related protein (PrP-rel-2) of zebra-fish. MS and potentiometric evidence

Multi-histidine peptide fragments of zebra-fish prion protein are effective ligands for Zn(II) ions. Moreover the formation of a dinuclear complex species with a longer peptide can suggest the existence of the cooperative effect in the metal ion binding.
