Bioactive angiotensin peptides [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 1998 Angiotensin II is recognised as the principle active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, exerting effects on fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, and cardiovascular control including neural and long term trophic effects. However, recent studies indicate that other angiotensin peptides such as angiotensin III, angiotensin II (1-7) and angiotensin IV,

Bioactive Peptides from Libraries [PDF]
Chemistry & Biology, 2005 New ligands for a variety of biological targets can be selected from biological or synthetic combinatorial peptide libraries. The use of different libraries to select novel peptides with potential therapeutic applications is reviewed. The possible combination of molecular diversity provided by combinatorial libraries and a rational approach derived ...
