Continuing with the nice results coming out during the beginning of 2020, we are very pleased to share our last publication at Chem. Eur. J., entitled "Assembly of a ternary metallopeptide complex at specific DNA sites mediated by an AT‐Hook adaptor" and authored by S. Learte-Aymamí, J. Rodríguez, E. Vázquez and J. L. Mascareñas.

Abstract:
We describe the nickel(II)‐mediated self‐assembly of a multimeric DNA binder composed by two metal‐chelating peptides derived from a bZIP transcription factor ( brHis 2 ) and one short AT‐hook domain equipped with two bipyridine ligands ( HkBpy 2 ). These peptides reversibly assemble in the presence of Ni(II) ions at selected DNA sequences of 13 base pairs.
