Investigation on the metal binding sites of a putative Zn(<scp>ii</scp>) transporter in opportunistic yeast species <i>Candida albicans</i>

Abstract

The protein fragment C4YJH2 of <italic>Candida albicans</italic> has the ability to tightly coordinate Zn(<sc>ii</sc>) at its C-terminal region by means of an evolutionarily well-conserved histidine-rich sequence.
