Amino Acid Sequence

Gly-Gly-His

General description

Gly-Gly-His (GGH) tripeptide with carboxyl-terminal histidine residue is hydrophilic.

Application

Gly-Gly-His has been used:
  • as a peptide test probe in the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) studies
  • in the electrochemical modification of back-side contact transducers (BSC) electrodes in copper (Cu2+) sensing studies
  • for the fabrication carbon nanotube electrode for detection of Cu2+ ions

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gly-Gly-His (GGH) tripeptide displays the affinity of copper (Cu2+) complexation. These complexes display good skin tolerance and may be useful in wound healing. GGH copper complexes are proposed to reduce tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-based interleukin 6 (IL-6) secretion by in vivo studies with fibroblasts. GGH is used in comparative studies with other imidazole-containing peptides such as carnosine. An area of active application research involves the GGH binding of copper ions.

The Ni(II) complex of the tripeptide NH2-glycine-glycine-histidine-COOH (GGH) mediates efficient protein-protein cross-linking in the presence of oxidants such as oxone and monoperoxyphthalic acid (MMPP). Here we demonstrate that GGH fused to the amino terminus of a protein can still support

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an important analytical technique for the detection and identification of small compounds. The main bottleneck in the interpretation of metabolite profiling or screening experiments is the identification of unknown compounds from tandem mass spectra. Spectral libraries

We have recently shown that S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) decompose in aqueous buffer to give nitric oxide, an important signalling molecule, and the corresponding disulphides. This occurs by reaction with Cu+ generated from Cu2+ (supplied as hydrated Cu2+) by thiolate reduction. To
