Engineered Sarafotoxins as Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-like Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitors [PDF]
The sarafotoxins and endothelins are approximately 25-residue peptides that spontaneously fold into a defined tertiary structure with specific pairing of four cysteines into two disulfide bonds. Their structures show an interesting topological similarity to the core of the metalloproteinase interaction sites of the tissue inhibitors of ...
