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.

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

We developed a novel biosensor comprising a transducer of carboxyl end-capped overoxidized polypyrrole nanowire electrode and a probe of tripeptide (Gly-Gly-His) selectively cognitive of Cu2+. The developed sensor was demonstrated to specifically detect Cu2+ in the nanomolar range. The diameter

DNA fiber EPR was used to investigate the DNA binding stabilities and orientations of Cu(II).Gly-Gly-His-derived metallopeptides containing D- vs. L-amino acid substitutions in the first peptide position. This examination included studies of Cu(II).D-Arg-Gly-His and Cu(II).D-Lys-Gly-His for comparison to metallopeptides containing
