This domain is a copper-binding domain found in single or multiple copies at the N-terminus of a wide variety of copper or other heavy metal binding transporters and other proteins. In the Ag+/Cu+- binding domains of the periplasmic adaptor protein Silb, three conserved methionine residues located between the tip of the short beta-sheet and a loop, forming a sort of clamp, bind the Ag+ ion [5].
