发明名称 Ligation of stapled polypeptides
摘要 The present invention provides technology for making large (e.g., greater than 50 amino acids), semi-synthetic, stapled or stitched proteins. The method essentially involves ligating a synthetically produced stapled or stitched peptide to a larger protein. Modified version of IL-13 and MYC are provided as illustrative examples.
