Open AccessMimetics of the Arg-Gly-Asp Sequence: Synthesis and Studies of the Antiaggregative Properties
It is known that the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence in the fibrinogen molecule is key in binding to the receptors on the surface of platelets. We searched for the compounds which were able to inhibit the binding and syn...

The effect of the glycyl-proline dipeptide on the metabolism of neuroactive amino acids and indices of energy turnover in the neocortex of rats after experimental brain ischemia
We studied the effects of the glycyl-proline dipeptide (Gly-Pro) at a dose of 3 mg/kg on the contents of neuroactive amino acids, including aspartate, glycine, alanine, taurine, GABA, and glutamate, the activi...

The synthesis of peptide fragments of high affinity receptor FcɛRI and their binding to allergen-specific immunoglobulins E
Using computer analysis, a minimal sequence of Arg136-Asn137-Trp138-Asp139 that can bind to IgE C3 and C4 fragments was determined for the high-affinity receptor FcɛRI, a key protein of IgE-dependent allergic ...
