Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) shows strong angiogenic, osteogenic and tissue-injury repair properties that might be relevant to medical applications. Since FGF-1 is partially unfolded at physiological temperature we decided to increase significantly its conformational stability and test how such an improvement will affect its biological function. Using an homology approach and rational strategy we designed...
