A molecular model has been developed for human Big Endothelin-l, which is the immediate precursor to the potent vasoconstrictor polypeptide endothelin-1 and the target of the highly specific endothelin converting enzyme. This model is produced by a threading algorithm protocol and is consistent with all the currently available structural and biochemical data for this molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
