Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to carbohydrate-specific peptides, which have a strong affinity and preparation method thereof. Particularly, the present invention relates to carbohydrate-specific peptides, which have been developed to have an increased strong affinity to carbohydrates by the multiple combinations of peptides having carbohydrates-specific amino acid sequences and preparation method thereof. Carbohydrate-specific peptides of the present invention have a very strong affinity under micromol, so that they can shut off recognition between cells transferred by specific carbohydrates, which means they can be used for the treatment of diseases mediated by recognition between cells and used as a diagnostic kit which diagnoses diseases by confirming the existence of any specific carbohydrate.
A preparation method of peptides having a strong affinity to carbohydrates existing on the cell surface comprising the following steps:
Carbohydrate-specific peptides containing at least one amino acid sequence represented by the SEQ. ID. NO:
