Abstract
Researchers have identified novel zinc-binding peptide sequences in a random peptide library based on the FimH adhesion on the tip of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae. These peptides could be expressed in E. coli and used for heavy metal bioremediation or as a chemical sensor for detecting heavy metals in the environment.
