Abstract excerpt
The irreversible aggregation of proteins or peptides greatly limits their bioavailability; therefore, effective inhibition using small molecules or biocompatible materials is very difficult. Human calcitonin (hCT), a hormone polypeptide with 32 residues, is secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. The biological function of this hormone is to regulate calcium and phosphate concentrations in the blood via...
