Abstract excerpt
Peptides as therapeutic substances are efficient agents in the treatment of several diseases. However, they often have to be chemically modified in order to be suited as therapeutic agent. Conjugation to large carrier molecules is often required. A critical step is the identification of available sites for chemical reaction, without influencing bioactivity. Peptide 238/S1 with the sequence NH(2)-PYWKWQYKYD-COOH...
