Growth hormone secretagogues: characterization, efficacy, and minimal bioactive conformation.
Another class of growth hormone (GH) secretagogues has been discovered by altering the backbone structure of a flexible linear GH-releasing peptide (GHRP). In vitro and in vivo characterization confirms these GH secretagogues as the most potent and smallest (M(r) < 500) reported. Anabolic efficacy is demonstrated in rodents with intermittent delivery. A convergent model of the bioactive conform...
متن کاملQuantification of free ligand conformational preferences by NMR and their relationship to the bioactive conformation☆
Accurate unbound solution 3D-structures of ligands provide unique opportunities for medicinal chemistry and, in particular, a context to understand binding thermodynamics and kinetics. Previous methods of deriving these 3D-structures have had neither the accuracy nor resolution needed for drug design and have not yet realized their potential. Here, we describe and apply a NMR methodology to the...
متن کاملBioactive conformation of stromelysin inhibitors determined by transferred nuclear Overhauser effects.
The transferred nuclear Overhauser effect has been used to determine the biologically active conformations of two stromelysin inhibitors. Both inhibitors used in this study were hydroxamic acids generated via chemical synthesis. These structures, representing the conformation of each inhibitor bound to stromelysin, superimposed with excellent agreement. The study also provided information on th...
متن کاملBeta-sheet is the bioactive conformation of the anti-angiogenic anginex peptide.
Anginex is a designed peptide 33mer that functions as a cytokine-like agent to inhibit angiogenesis. Although this short linear peptide has been shown by NMR and CD to form a nascent beta-sheet conformation in solution, the actual bioactive structure formed upon binding to its receptor on the surface of endothelial cells could be quite different. By using a series of double-cysteine disulphide-...
متن کاملConformation of the Group II intron branch site in solution.
Group II introns are multidomain ribozymes that catalyze their own removal from pre-mRNA. The nucleophile for the first cleavage step is the 2'OH of a specific adenosine within domain 6 (D6), called the branch site. Mechanistic parallels and limited secondary structural similarity with the eukaryotic spliceosome lead many to speculate that the two systems have a common ancestry. We have elucida...
