Rigid Linkers for Bioactive Peptides [PDF]
Bioconjugate Chemistry, 2006 Rigid linkers of variable length were used to connect two high-affinity Nle4-D-Phe7-alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (NDP-alpha-MSH) or two low-affinity MSH(4) ligands. The linked peptides were synthesized by solid-phase methods. Control experiments indicate there is little or no effect of these linkers on NDP-alpha-MSH or MSH(4) binding to the ...
