Ginsentide-like coffeetides isolated from coffee waste are cell-penetrating and metal-binding microproteins by Tam, James P., Huang, Jiayi, Loo, Shining, Li, Yimeng, Kam, Antony

“…In addition, transcriptomic analysis showed that the 98-residue micrcoproten-like coffeetide precursor contains a three-domain arrangement, like ginsentide precursors. Molecular modeling, together with experimental validation, revealed a Mg2+ and Fe3+ binding pocket at the N-terminus formed by three glutamic acids. …”
