Lys-Lys-Lys (CAS 13184-14-0)
QUICK LINKS
Lys-Lys-Lys, also known as a tripeptide composed of three lysine amino acids linked together, plays a pivotal role in the study of protein structure and function within biochemistry and molecular biology research. This tripeptide serves as a model to understand the behavior of polypeptides and the importance of lysine residues in protein interactions, modifications, and stability. Lysine residues are known for their positive charge at physiological pH, making them integral in studying electrostatic interactions within proteins and between proteins and other biomolecules. The repetitive nature of Lys-Lys-Lys allows scientists to explore the effects of poly-lysine stretches in proteins, including their role in nuclear localization signals, interaction with DNA, and the impact on protein folding and aggregation. This tripeptide is also utilized in various research applications to probe the specificity of enzymes such as kinases and acetyltransferases that target lysine residues, providing insights into enzyme-substrate interactions and the regulation of protein function through post-translational modifications.
