PEPTIDE COMPLEXES HAVING ENHANCED STABILITY

摘要

Peptide complexes comprising at least two short peptide units which correspond in amino acid sequence to the amino acid sequences of segments of an intact protein of interest which form defined secondary structure in the intact protein and methods of their preparation. The peptide units in the peptide complexes are generally approximately 5 to 30 amino acid residues in length and joined by covalent bonding, for example disulfide bonds formed between a cysteine residue in each short peptide unit.
