摘要:
The present invention relates generally to peptide molecules and to derivatives, homologues, analogues and mimetics thereof capable of inducing or facilitating analgesia or partial analgesia alone or in combination with other analgesic molecules. The present invention also contemplates a method of inducing or facilitating analgesia or partial analgesia by the administration of a peptide or a derivative, homologue, analogue or mimetic thereof. The amino acid sequence of the peptide molecules of the present invention are derived from or based on amino acid sequences of snake venom toxins, and, in particular, &agr;-neurotoxins.
摘要:
Homologs and analogs of naturally-occurring polypeptides contain one or more interaction sites of the natural counterpart. The interaction sites are flanked by conformation-constraining moieties, such as proline or cysteine.

摘要:
The present invention provides peptides having potent anti-angiogenic activity and endothelial cell proliferation inhibition activity. The peptides can be administered as pharmaceutical compositions for prevention or treatment of undesired angiogenesis, for instance for prevention of tumor metastasis or inhibition of primary tumor growth.

摘要:
The invention relates to thrombin inhibitors derived from the salivary glands of haematophagous arthropods and in particular to bivalent and trivalent thrombin inhibitors that act by interacting with thrombin at two or three different sites.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of modifying serine protease inhibitors in order to acquire or enhance any one of a variety of desired properties, including extent of inhibition, maintenance of inhibition following cleavage of the serine protease inhibitor by the target serine protease, speed of binding to the serine protease, neutralisation, and binding affinity. The present invention also relates to the products of such modifications and the uses of such products, in particular, their use in therapy.
摘要:
Among other things, methods of obtaining putative protein-protein interaction sites of biologically-active polypeptides are provided. The methods include searching the polypeptides for a regions that are flanked on each termini by at least one proline residue; and isolating or producing the flanked regions.
