His-Leu is a hydrolytic byproduct of angiotensin metabolism, whose concentration in the bloodstream could be at least micromolar. This encouraged us to investigate its Cu(II) binding properties and the concomitant redox reactivity. The Cu(II) binding constants were derived from isothermal titration calorimetry and potentiometry, while identities and structures of complexes were obtained from ultraviolet-visible, circular dichroism, and room-temperature electronic paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. Four types of Cu(II)/His-Leu complexes were detected. The histamine-like complexes prevail at low pH. At neutral and mildly alkaline pH and low Cu(II):His-Leu ratios, they are superseded by diglycine-like complexes involving the deprotonated peptide nitrogen. At His-Leu:Cu(II) ratios of ≥2, bis-complexes are formed instead. Above pH 10.5, a diglycine-like complex containing the equatorially coordinated hydroxyl group predominates at all ratios tested. Cu(II)/His-Leu complexes are also strongly redox active, as demonstrated by voltammetric studies and the ascorbate oxidation assay. Finally, numeric competition simulations with human serum albumin, glycyl-histydyl-lysine, and histidine revealed that His-Leu might be a part of the low-molecular weight Cu(II) pool in blood if its abundance is >10 μM. These results yield further questions, such as the biological relevance of ternary complexes containing His-Leu.
