Abstract:Introduction: It is always a crucial challenge in biotechnology to avoid promiscuous binding between an anticancer peptide and multiple SH3 domains, thus reducing potential toxic effects. In spite of a great deal of experimental efforts, the association between amino acid sequence and binding specificity of peptide remained largely unknown. Aim: The purpose of this study was to optimize the amino acid sequence of peptide ligands and render high specificity towards designated therapeutic targets. Results: By ex… Show more
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.
