摘要:
A multimer peptide from a snake venom has an activity to inhibit binding between von Willebrand factor and platelets. The multimer peptide is used to obtain a single strand peptide which does not substantially cause decrease in platelets at a minimum dose for exhibiting the activity in vivo. The single strand peptide is obtained by allowing the multimer peptide to exist together with a protein-denaturing agent, and glutathione and/or cysteine, and thereby disconnecting disulfide bonds between peptide chains for constituting the multimer peptide while substantially preserving disulfide bonds within the peptide chains. Alternatively, the single strand peptide, a mutant thereof, or a part thereof is produced by genetic engineering techniques by using genes coding for them.
摘要:
A method for conveniently detecting binding between the von Willebrand factor and glycoprotein Ib and a means to be used therein. The von Willebrand factor fixed in a reactor immobilized in a reaction vessel in the presence of bottrocetin is bound to a chimeric protein constructed by fusing the carboxyl terminal of a partial protein containing the von Willebrand factor-binding site of glycoprotein Ib with the amino terminal of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin molecule. Then the Fc region of the above immunoglobulin molecule is detected to thereby detect the binding between the von Willebrand factor and the glycoprotein Ib or inhibition of this binding.

摘要:
It is provided a method for producing a subunit peptide originating from an oligomeric protein having disulfide bonds within a subunit and between subunits. The method comprises producing a subunit originating from an oligomeric protein having disulfide bonds within a subunit and between subunits by the following steps: (a) a step of refolding the subunit by denaturing the oligomeric protein or its subunit in a solution with a protein-denaturing agent and removing the denaturing agent from the solution in the presence of polyoxyalkyl polyether having a functional group that reacts with a thiol group; and (b) a step of isolating the subunit bonded to the polyoxyalkyl polyether from the solution.
