CHADTIDE

Designer:
Chad Tatko

Structure:

Sequence:
Ac-RWVEVNGOKILQ-NH₂

Characteristics:

Chadtide provided the first insights into diagonal cation-pi interactions between Trp2 and Lys9 and lead to many additional mutations for the study of noncovalent interactions, thioether-pi interactions, amide-pi interactions, carbohydrate-pi interactions, and hydrophobic interactions.
