Studies of the structure-activity relationships of peptides and proteins involved in growth and development based on their three-dimensional structures
Abstract
Peptides and proteins with similar amino acid sequences can have different biological functions. Knowledge of their three-dimensional molecular structures is critically important in identifying their functional determinants. In this review, I describe the results of our and other groups' structure-based functional characterization of insect insulin-like peptides, a crustacean hyperglycemic hormone-family peptide, a mammalian epidermal growth factor-family protein, and an intracellular signaling domain that recognizes proline-rich sequence.
