Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates generally to the discovery of novel protease-resistant peptide ligands and uses thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides a protease-resistant peptide with three to twenty amino acids capable of binding a biological and comprising one or more basic amino acid(s) and I or aromatic amino acids, wherein one or more of the amino acids is substituted with a non-naturally occurring amino acid analog.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A protease-resistant peptide comprising three to twenty amino acids capable of binding a biological and comprising one or more basic amino acid(s) or aromatic amino acids, wherein one or more of the amino acids is substituted with a non-naturally occurring amino acid analog. 2 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the non-natural amino acid analog is listed in Table 6. 3 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 wherein the peptide is a hexapeptide. 4 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the protease-resistant peptide is a hexapeptide and has the sequence HWRGWV, HYFKFD and HFRRHL (SEQ ID NOS:1-3) prior to substitution with the non-naturally occurring amino acid analog(s). 5 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is resistant to digestion by endopeptidases. 6 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is resistant to digestion by exopeptidases. 7 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the endopeptidase is alpha-chymotrypsin. 8 . The protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 , wherein the endopeptidase is trypsin. 9 . A solid support coupled to the protease-resistant peptide of claim 1 . 10 . A method of purification of a biological which comprises contacting the solid support of claim 9 with the biological under suitable conditions such that the biological binds to the solid support; washing the solid support and bound biological; and eluting the biological from the solid support so as to purify the biological. 11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the biological is an antibody. 12 . A diagnostic kit comprising the solid support of claim 9 .
