Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Despite intense research into the design of small ligands that target protein-protein interaction, a novel methodology for the rational design of such ligands remains an elusive goal. To design such ligands, our group has examined the directed evolution in a phage-displayed library of helix-loop-helix peptides. Screening of the library against targeted proteins provided bioactive peptides, whose rigid structures showed the spatial orientation of the pharmacophores, thus facilitating structure-based design of peptidomimetics. We constructed a phage-displayed library of the peptides and screened the library against several targeted proteins. The obtained peptide showed a strong binding affinity (Kd of 4 nM) , and a long half-life (>2 weeks) in mouse sera. In addition, the peptides provide structural information of the pharmacophores to facilitate structure-based design of peptidomimetics. Finally, we succeeded to generate biphenyl compounds binding to the targeted proteins.
