  • Title: Sequence-directed recognition peptides: inhibition of endothelin generation via a substrate-depletion mechanism.
    Author: Zamai M, Caiolfa VR.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1993 Oct 06; 1202(2):337-40. PubMed ID: 8399398.
    Abstract:
    Sequence-directed recognition peptides (SDRPs) were constructed on the basis of their hydropathic complementarity for big-endothelin (bigET). These peptides can inhibit in vitro the proteolytic cleavage that generates endothelin (ET) from its bigET precursor. Comparison of dissociation constants of the complexes SDRP:bigET with kinetic constants obtained for the cleavage of bigET by alpha-chymotrypsin (taken as a model proteinase) provides evidence of the potential of SDRPs. This is a novel application of SDRPs used as inhibitors of a proteolytic reaction.
