Studies of structure-activity relationships of human interleukin-2.
Human interleukin-2 (IL-2) has 3 cysteine residues; cysteines 58 and 105 form an intramolecular disulfide bridge, whereas cysteine 125 has a free sulfhydryl group. In this study, site-specific mutagenesis has been used to modify the cysteine residues of recombinant Escherichia coli-derived IL-2 (rIL-2) to evaluate the functional structure of IL-2. Substitution or deletion of cysteine 105 disrup...
متن کاملSelective COX-2 Inhibitors: A Review of Their Structure-Activity Relationships
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs). Their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. The therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of NSAIDs is produced by the inhibition of COX-2, while the ...

متن کاملStructure-radical scavenging activity relationships of hydroxytoluene derivatives
Research works proposed that radical scavenging activity of flavonoids is due to ring B, andthe remaining part of the molecule can be disregarded. Thus the objective of this work is toobserve whether hydroxytoluenes account the radical scavenging activity of flavonoid and toestablish structural requirements for their activity (as they showed appreciable activity) andelucidate a comprehensive me...
متن کاملHuman follitropin: Structure-activity relationships
Studies of human follitropin (hFSH) structure-activity relationships from the author' s laboratory are reviewed. These include mutagenesis studies that complemented the determination of the three dimensIonal structure of hFSH. Despite a large extracellular domain of the FSH receptor and the complexity and size of both the receptor and the hFSH molecule, only a handful of hFSH amino acids are re...
