A new ferrocene-peptide conjugate Fc-[His(DNP)-GlyOMe] 2 (2) was synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. The conjugate displays the familiar 1,2Ј-P helical Herrick conformation in solution and exhibits a reversible oneelectron oxidation at 380 mV versus Fc/Fc + . , Zn 2+ , and Cd 2+ with conjugate 2 were probed by using a range of techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, and NMR and CD spectroscopies. Electrochemical studies showed that the system exhibits a rare cathodic potential shift upon the addition of metal ions, which followed the order Cu 2+ (-436 mV) Ͼ Fe 2+ (-284 mV) Ͼ Zn 2+ (-270 mV) Ͼ Cd 2+ (-238 mV) Ͼ Mg 2+ (-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
