CCL: Any computational method to predict binding affinities of metals for different PROTEINS?

["Peter Rose" <prose001_._san.rr.com>]

Here are a couple of recent papers that identify metal binding motifs on a qualitative basis:

 

Richard Thilakaraj , Krishnan Raghunathan , Sharmila Anishetty, and Gautam Pennathur,

In silico identification of putative metal binding motifs, Bioinformatics 2007 23(3):267-271.

 

Passerini A, Andreini C, Menchetti S, Rosato A, Frasconi P.,

Predicting zinc binding at the proteome level, BMC Bioinformatics 2007 Feb 5, 8-39

The software implementing the predictor is freely available at: http://zincfinder.dsi.unifi.it

Dear CCL list members,

I wonder if there is any computational method that I can use to predict if when adding Zn2+ to a solution that contains the same concentration of two different proteins, the ions will bind, preferably, to one of the two proteins.

With many thanks in advances

Yours sincerely,

Gerard
