Abstract excerpt
The potent, conformationally biased C5a agonist peptide YSFKPMPLaR (C5a65-74, Y65, F67, P69, P71, D-Ala73) was used as a template to gain insight into the nature and importance of lysine at position 68 in the peptide-receptor interaction. A panel of YSFKPMPLaR analogs with systematic substitutions for Lys68 was evaluated for C5a receptor (C5aR) binding affinity and activation in two well-characterized assay...
