Abstract
In this paper we report on the interaction between the Cu(II) ions and the histidine analogues of oxytocin. The studied His-analogues are characterized by presence of Tyr2 or Phe2 amino acid residues and free or protected N-terminal group. The use of potentiometric methods allowed for the determination of the stoichiometry of formed complexes and calculation of their stability constants. The number of spectroscopic measurements (UV-Vis, CD, NMR, fluorescence) together with the theoretical calculation enabled to obtain the structures of formed complexes and the influence of Tyr2 amino acid residue on the efficiency of metal ion binding.
