Compstatin is a 13-residue cyclic peptide inhibitor of complement activation that was originally identified through phage-mediated presentation of a peptide library to C3b. Recent efforts to improve its activity have led to a rich dataset of complement analogs, with the most active analog being approximately 260 times more active than the parent compstatin. In the present work, a highly transparent quantitative structure-activity relationship model (Radj2=0.89) with four parameters is presented ...[more]
