  • Peptides containing N-substituted L-amino acids for preventing ?-strand association
    Patent number: 7125838
    Abstract: Peptide is disclosed which is capable of binding to ?-strand in a separate peptide-containing molecule to form ?-sheet, wherein said peptide is selectively N?-substituted in one edge (first) of the ?-strand-forming section of said peptide while the other edge (second) in the opposite orientation to the first edge in view of peptide backbone plane remains N?-unsubstituted. Such the N?-substituted peptide is capable of preventing association of said peptide with other ?-strand (target) but permits interaction of said peptide with target ?-strand in separate peptide-containing molecules through the N?-unsubstituted edge.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2006
    Assignee: Senexis Limited
    Inventor: Kelvin Stott
  • Peptides containing N-substituted D-amino acids for preventing ?-strand association
    Patent number: 7060671
    Abstract: Peptide is disclosed which comprises D-enantiomers of amino acids and is capable of interacting with other ?-strand structure to form ?-sheet, wherein said peptide is selectively N?-substituted in one edge (first) of the ?-strand-forming section of said peptide while the other edge (second) in the opposite orientation to the first edge in view of peptide backbone plane remains N?-unsubstituted. Such the N?-substituted peptide is capable of preventing association of said peptide with other ?-strand (target) but permits interaction of said peptide with target ?-strand in separate peptide-containing molecules through the N?-unsubstituted edge. The peptide is useful for preventing ?-strand association or aggregation.
