Peptide Inhibitors of the amyloidogenesis of IAPP: verification of the hairpin-binding geometry hypothesis.


ABSTRACT: Versions of a previously discovered ?-hairpin peptide inhibitor of IAPP aggregation that are stabilized in that conformation, or even forced to remain in the hairpin conformation by a backbone cyclization constraint, display superior activity as inhibitors. The cyclized hairpin, cyclo-WW2, displays inhibitory activity at substoichiometric concentrations relative to this amyloidogenic peptide. The hairpin-binding hypothesis stands confirmed.

Versions of a previously discovered β-hairpin peptide inhibitor of IAPP aggregation that are stabilized in that conformation, or even forced to remain in the hairpin conformation by a backbone cyclization constraint, display superior activity as inhibitors. The cyclized hairpin, cyclo-WW2, displays inhibitory activity at substoichiometric concentrations relative to this amyloidogenic peptide. The hairpin-binding hypothesis stands confirmed. ...[more]
