Streszczenie

Potentiometric and spectroscopic data show an unusual gain in the stability constants of Cu2+ complexes with vasopressin analogues having the highly hydrophobic naphthalene-alanine residue inserted in position three (Nal3). The naphthalene derivative is a much more powerful ligand for binding Cu2+ ions that the parent peptide. Theoretical calculations indicate the effective hydrophobic protection of the metal site by Tyr2 and Nal3 aromatic side-chains. The interaction of the guanidine moiety of Arg4 with naphthalene can also increase distinctly the stability of the respective 4N complex.
