Bacterial DppA proteins have signature Sec signal peptides specific to heme binding<ref name=Alex/>. Research indicates the Sec signal peptide present on DppA of Mtb must be present for heme binding to occur<ref name=Alex/>. DppA exhibits a much lower dissociation constant than other PBPs, around ~1.5 uM. This is significantly less than functionally similar proteins such as ''H. influenzae''’s HbpA or ''E. coli''’s DppA (HbpA<sub>''H. influenzae''</sub> = ~655 uM and DppA<sub>''E. coli''<sub | Bacterial DppA proteins have signature Sec signal peptides specific to heme binding<ref name=Alex/>.
