Function
MALE_ECOLI Involved in the high-affinity maltose membrane transport system MalEFGK. Initial receptor for the active transport of and chemotaxis toward maltooligosaccharides.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
In this study, we show that maltose-binding protein (MBP) is capable of facilitating stable gold nanoparticle synthesis, and a structure of MBP in the presence of gold ions was determined by X-ray crystallography. Using this high-resolution structure of gold ion bound MBP, a peptide (AT1) was selected and synthesized and was shown to also aid in the synthesis of stable gold nanoparticles under similar experimental conditions to those used for protein facilitated synthesis. This structure-based approach represents a new potential method for the selection of peptides capable of facilitating stable nanoparticle synthesis.
