  • Publication number: 20070207947
    Abstract: The present invention therefore presents modules from which helical constraints can be built by very flexible strategies. The peptide bonds involved partially compensate the hydrophobic nature of the disulfide bonds, which are also included into the constraint strategy. Thus, the invention presents solutions, by means of which peptide bonds or closure of disulfide bridges can be used alternatively for closure of the constraint. This offers greater synthetic flexibility. Moreover, the peptide bonds are more hydrophilic than disulfide bridges alone and offer the advantage of better solubility of the product in an aqueous surrounding. It is possible to attach solvation tags like glycosyl moieties, polyethylenglycol or other suitable extensions or appendices to the helical constraint structure. Usually, such a hydrophilic helical constraint structure replaces two hydrophobic amino acid side chains and thus improves pharmacologic properties of the molecule.

  • Publication number: 20060003422
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of specific monoclonal immunological binding molecules having binding capacity to mammal epitopes, comprising the following steps: a) isolation of structures containing said epitopes to obtain an epitope preparation; b) immunization of non-mammals with the epitope preparation to obtain an immune response; c) immortalization of the immune response to obtain a library of immunological binding molecules; d) selection of the immunological binding molecules by means of the epitopes to obtain specific monoclonal immunological binding molecules. The specific monoclonal immunological binding molecules obtained can be used for identifying, in a library of low molecular weight substances, those having a high binding affinity, thus mimicking the epitopes of mammals.
