Abstract

The predominant species in water solution of excess carnosine and Cu 2+ ions was characterized by measuring 13C and 1H spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates. Four peptide molecules were calculated to be coordinated to the metal through the imidazole nitrogen. Evaluation of ion-proton distances demonstrated that metal complexation does not involve severe changes in conformation of the peptide.
