Ternary Cu(II) Complex with GHK Peptide and <i>Cis</i>-Urocanic Acid as a Potential Physiologically Functional Copper Chelate

Ternary Cu(II) Complex with GHK Peptide and <i>Cis</i>-Urocanic Acid as a Potential Physiologically Functional Copper Chelate

The tripeptide NH<sub>2</sub>–Gly–His–Lys–COOH (GHK), <i>cis</i>-urocanic acid (<i>cis</i>-UCA) and Cu(II) ions are physiological constituents of the human body and they co-occur (e.g., in the skin and the plasma). While GHK is known as Cu(II)-binding molecule, we...
