Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a family of hydrocarbon-stapled peptides designed to interact with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) juxtamembrane (JM) segment, blocking its ability to form a coiled coil dimer that is essential for receptor activation. These hydrocarbon-stapled peptides, most notably E1S, decreased the proliferation of cell lines that express wild-type EGFR (H2030 and A431) as well as those...
