Abstract
A catalytically active peptide comprising an imidazole function in position i flanked by at least one functional group to be amidated in position i+3+4k, where k is an integer equal to or higher than −1 or in position i−4−4n, wherein n is an integer equal to or higher than 0, characterized in that it also comprises at least one activating group in position i+4+4n or i−3−4n, respectively, wherein n is as above.
Claims11
A catalytically active peptide comprising histidine in position i flanked by at least one lysine, ornithine or diaminobutyric acid residue to be amidated in position i+3+4k, where k is −1, 0 or 2, or in position i−4−4−n, wherein n is 0, 1 or 2, characterized in that it also comprises at least one activating group constituted by serine, threonine, tyrosine or cysteine in position i+4+4n or i−3−4−n, respectively, wherein n is as above.
