PEPTIDE INHIBITOR OF BROWMAN-BIRK TYPE

摘要

There is provided a peptide comprising the serine proteinase binding loop of a BBI or a peptide mimic thereof, in which the amino and carboxyl terminal residues of the binding loop or a peptide mimic thereof are joined by a peptide bond or a peptide to form a continuous chain. There is also provided a peptide of the formula: -G-R-C-T-K-S-I-P-P-I-C-F-P-D- in which the amino and carboxyl terminal residues are joined by a peptide bond and in which there is a disulphide bridge between the two cysteine residues, and a homologue of such a peptide.
