The demand for modified peptides with improved stability profiles and pharmacokinetic properties is driving extensive research effort in this field. Many structural modifications of peptides guided… Expand
Heterobivalent ligands crosslink multiple cell-surface receptors: the human melanocortin-4 and delta-opioid receptors.
Cell-surface receptor mediated signaling is mechanistically complex. Hetero- and homo-multimerization of receptors appears to occur naturally and is a significant regulatory component of signal… Expand
